SonarWiz.MAP Klein 3K
In January 2004 we introduced our SonarWiz.MAP system for the Klein System 3000 and System 5000 sonars. SonarWiz.MAP is the only system in the industry that provides both real-time and post-processed sonar mosaics in a single, easy to use software package.  SonarWiz.MAP can be used as a stand-alone data acquisition system providing complete control over the 3K sonar. Alternately, SonarWiz.MAP can also run in Slave mode along side SonarPRO or any other topside data collection system providing a cost effective means of adding real-time and post-processing of sonar mosaics.
 
SonarWiz.MAP Office
This month we’ve released the ‘Office’ version of SonarWiz.MAP to bring the lightning-fast mosaic production to the office environment.  If you are still playing your XTF files through your mosaic software, you really need to see the new SonarWiz.MAP Acoustic File Import tools. Additionally, we’ve completely rewritten our target capture tool to retrieve the full sonar resolution of each contact, added new target image enhancement features, better mensuration tools and support for annotation. To wrap it all up, we’ve added a target reporting tool that generates an HTML report using imagery and text from the target capture tool.
 
SonarWeb-Fledermaus Integration
If you haven’t seen ‘Fledermaus’ the 3D visualization tool from Interactive Visualization Systems have a click onto  their web site. We’ve just added seamless integration between SonarWeb PRO and Fledermaus allowing you to build and export SonarWeb mosaics and seismic profiles directly to Fledermaus automatically.
 

 “This is the easiest real-time mosaicing solution I have seen and the correlation of dock/pier and shore features on the under-layered navigation chart with the sonar imagery is impressive.” 

--Garry Kozak, January 2004
