CARIS Batch Utility : HIPS Processes : Merge HIPS
 

Merge HIPS

Description

The MergeHIPS process converts along track/across track depths into latitude, longitude, and depth by combining the ship navigation with the horizontal and vertical offsets from the HIPS vessel file. This geographically references the sounding position and depth.

Update

One or more HIPS track lines.

Outputs

Updated HIPS track lines.

Command Line Syntax

carisbatch --run MergeHIPS [options] <update>

Options

The following table describes the parameters available for this process.

Parameter

 

Long

Short

Description

Can Repeat

Notes

 

Common Options

--apply-refraction-coeff

If set, applies refraction coefficients.

FALSE

--tide

The type of tide to be applied during merge.

NONE: (None) - No tidal correction will be applied.

TIDE: Observed/Predicted - Observed tidal corrections will be applied.

GPS: GPS - GPS tidal corrections will be applied.

The default value is NONE.

FALSE

--heave-source

The type of heave to be applied during merge.

HEAVE: Realtime - Original heave data will be used.

DELAYED_HEAVE: Delayed - Delayed heave data will be used.

The default value is HEAVE.

FALSE

--beam-shift

The type of beam shift to be applied during merge.

NONE: (None) - No beam shift will be applied.

STATIC: Static - Static beam shifts will be applied.

RELATIVE: Relative - Relative beam shifts will be applied.

The default value is NONE.

FALSE

--smooth-sensor

If set, applies smoothing coefficients to the specified data.

GYRO: Gyro - Smooths the gyro data.

HEAVE: Heave - Smooths the heave data.

PITCH: Pitch - Smooths the pitch data.

ROLL: Roll - Smooths the roll data.

SOW: Speed over water - Smooths the speed over water data.

DELTA_DRAFT: Delta draft - Smooths the delta draft/subsea depth data.

GPS_TIDE: GPS tide - Smooths the GPS tide data.

TIDE: Tide - Smooths the tide data.

TRUE

BeamShift = STATIC or RELATIVE Options

--beam-shift-file

The path to the beam shift file.

FALSE

Example

To use this command, refer to the following example.

Example

Objective

To geographically reference the sounding position and depth of HIPS track line data.

Description

Command Line Syntax

No tidal corrections will be applied.

--tide NONE

Delayed heave will be applied.

--heave-source DELAYED_HEAVE

Gyro data will be smoothed.

--smooth-sensor GYRO

Heave data will be smoothed.

--smooth-sensor HEAVE

The input file is named input.hips and is located at C:\temp\input\. The HIPS file URI filters for the vessel named “sample” and the day 2000-001.

C:\temp\input\

Command Line

carisbatch --run MergeHIPS --tide NONE --heave-source DELAYED_HEAVE --smooth-sensor GYRO --smooth-sensor HEAVE file:///C:/temp/input/input.hips?Vessel=sample;Day=2000-001

Outcome

Depth data now has position reference using the horizontal and vertical offsets from the HIPS vessel file.
