Create SIPS Mosaic using Backscatter

Create a mosaic using the SIPS Backscatter engine to process multibeam backscatter data referenced by HIPS data.

This engine processes multibeam backscatter, employing such corrections for backscatter intensity as TVG, transmit and receiver gain, and beam pattern correction.

This processing engine will directly read Reson *. s7k, Hypack *.hsx/*.7k and Kongsberg *.all files to create a beam pattern from the beam value stored or extracted from the time series datagrams.
