Compute SIPS Towfish Navigation

Description

The ComputeSIPSTowfishNavigation process computes the position of a towfish from the ship's navigation using a horizontal distance and direction from the ship's towpoint to the towfish.

Update

One or more HIPS track lines.

Outputs

Updated HIPS track lines.

Notes

 

--processing-buffer-time

B

If set, applies a buffer of extra data, specified in seconds, at the beginning and end of lines to avoid data loss. If not set or buffer size of 0 seconds is applied, data will be processed without the buffer.

The default value is 0.

Supported units: seconds

FALSE

--smooth-sensor

If set, applies smoothing coefficients to the specified data.

GYRO: Gyro - Smooths the gyro data.

SSSSensor: Side scan sensor depth - Smooths the side scan sensor depth data.

SSSCable: Side scan cable out - Smooths the side scan cable out data.

TRUE

--use-cmg

If set, calculates Course Made Good from the Navigation for heading. Otherwise stored gyro is used.

FALSE

--recompute-contact-positions

If set, recomputes the position of any existing contacts with the new navigation.

FALSE
