Geomatics Data Solutions can design a work flow to enable you to process all of your marine data using the latest industry standard software. In addition, we have the programmatic capability to customize solutions and bridge seamlessly between various third party software applications.
Bathymetric Lidar
With more than 13 years experience working with bathymetric lidar, Geomatics Data Solutions is able to acquire and process data from AHAB’s HawkEye II system or Optech’s SHOALS system. Today’s bathymetric lidar systems are usually combined with other sensors, such as a topographic lidar and digital camera. Our highly technical personnel can process data from all sensors within these systems, providing a one-stop-shop for your project needs.
GDS has a great deal of experience merging bathymetric and topographic datasets on to a single vertical datum (tidal, orthometric or ellipsoid) to provide a seamless dataset which can then be used for coastal modeling. This can be done in locations where datums are already well defined (e.g. in areas of the US using VDatum) or alternatively we can define a process to derive the necessary shifts.
Along with software specific to each lidar sensor (e.g. CSS for HawkEye II and GCS for SHOALS), we can use the following software packages to process HawkEye or SHOALS data. The actual software and work flow used will be dependent on project purpose and required final products. We are always reviewing new software, to ensure we are using the most efficient process possible.
