Filter Processed Depths (Surface/Polygon Filter)

 

Menu

Tools > HIPS Data Filters > Surface Polygon

This filter uses an input surface and a scaled standard deviation or uncertainty threshold to reject data that fall outside the specified threshold. You can also filter by a direct threshold amount or by accepting or rejecting soundings that fall inside or outside of a selected polygon.

Interface

Settings are made in the Filter Processed Depths dialog box. This dialog box is also used by the Surface Filter (Subset of a Reference Surface) command.

Option

Description

Common Options

Enable Protective Radius

1. Select the check box to turn on a protective radius around critical soundings. Neighbouring soundings inside the protected area will not be filtered.

2. Select the type of critical soundings to be protected: one or all of Designated, Examined or Outstanding.

Radius

Set the size of the radius

Filter Type

Set Surface to filter the area of the selected surface

Set Polygon to filter the area within the polygon boundary.

Surface Filter

Select Layer
