Hardware and Software Upgrade for Shipboard Processing of Hydrosweep Multibeam Bathymetric Data on the R/V Maurice Ewing

主要研究人员将开发和实施一种显著升级的、记录良好的能力，用于在R/V Ewing上获取、处理和显示Hydrosweep数据。将获得用于处理显示测绘数据的新型舰载硬件。现有的软件将被统一，用户级文档将被生成。由此产生的系统将在很大程度上独立于产生数据的测绘系统，将很容易移植到普通工作站，并易于社区学习。

The principle investigators will develop and implement a significantly upgraded and well documented capability for the acquisition, processing and display of Hydrosweep data on the R/V Ewing. New shipboard hardware for processing display of swath bathymetry data will be acquired. Exiting software will be unified and a user-level documentation will be generated. The resulting system will be largely independent of the swath mapping system that produced the data, will be easily portable to common workstations and easy for the community to learn.
