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] <inputs> <outputs>

Common Options

--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

--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.

Defaults to 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
