and click interface allows for userselected data processing, not the entire dataset; swaths are user-defined and processed individually. All standard processing options are available for imagery and bathymetry data. Interactive mosaicking allows individual swath removal, editing and layering in real-time without re-geocoding; includes background chart options. New features include 3Dswath viewing and specific export area options.

Bathymetric Data Management Software
CARIS Bathy DataBASE was developed to allow hydrographers to overcome obstacles of large bathymetric data sets and data sources. The software allows users to validate, prepare and compile bathymetric data from multiple formats and sources to create products. With ever expanding volumes of raw multibeam survey data and large numbers of archived historical data sources, a data management system for source bathymetry is essen-
tial. The management of high-density bathymetry is essential for product creation where safety of navigation is applicable. Bathy DataBASE manages bathymetry at a useful and significant resolution rather than at survey density.
traditional underwater applications and in novel deployments. Each and every sonar ping from a standard system returns 16,384 points mapping a cone 50 x 50 degrees to around 200m. Typical applications include monitoring underwater construction and real time dredge hopper motion. Deployed in forward-looking mode from underwater vehicles, the power of real time 3D provides obstacle avoidance capabilities and ahead situational awareness to ensure rapid response to potential hazards. In a static deployment moving underwater targets are easily seen with multiple coherent 3D images providing rapid target identification opportunities.

CleanSweep
Oceanic Imaging Consultants' CleanSweep post-processing software cleans sidescan, multibeam, interferometric, and laser line scan data, plus corrects associated navigation and attitude meta-data for offsets, latencies, draft, and tides. Processing work is saved in project folders; imagery and bathymetry can be processed concurrently. CleanSweep's point
