Example

Objective

To convert data from specific acquisition formats into HIPS file format for processing.

Description

Command Line Syntax

The format of the data being converted is Edgetech JSF.

--input-format EDGETECH_JSF

Data is filtered to the extents of the project Demo_Project.

--filter-extent-type project

Only data between -200m and 10 m will be converted.

--filter -200m 10m

Low frequency side scan data will be converted, if it exists. Otherwise high frequency side scan.

--convert-side-scan auto

Any JSF bathymetry in the data will be converted.

--convert-bathymetry

Data with quality percentage below 70% will not be converted.

--quality-percent 70

The input file is named Raw_Data.jsf and located at c:\temp\inputfiles\.

c:\temp\inputfiles\Raw_Data.jsf

The output file is named Demo_Project and is located at D:\Data\HDCS_Data\.

D:/Data/HDCS_Data/Demo_Project/Vessel.hips?Vessel=Voyager;Day=2015-044

Command Line

carisbatch --run ImportToHIPS --input-format EDGETECH_JSF --filter-extent-type project --filter -200m 10m --convert-side-scan auto --convert-bathymetry --quality-percent 70 c:\temp\inputfiles\Raw_Data.jsf file:///D:/Data/HDCS_Data/Demo_Project/Vessel.hips?Vessel=Voyager;Day=2015-044

Outcome

Data in specified format is imported to HIPS and SIPS.

Extra Notes

From the above command line example:

input-format EDGETECH_JSF is an example of an option for this Import to HIPS process.

c:\temp\inputfiles\Raw_Data.jsf file: is an example of the input or raw data file.

D:/Data/HDCS_Data/Demo_Project/Vessel.hips?Vessel=Voyager;Day=2015-044 is an example of the destination for the converted data.
