There are two variations of the CUBE algorithm, version 1 and version 2. They are referred to in different ways depending on the process: • The New Regular Gridded Surface process can use either version of the CUBE algorithm. It refers to version 1 as “CUBE” and version 2 as “CUBE v2.0”. • All other processes (including New Variable Resolution Surface and all processes in CARIS BASE Editor) only use version 2 of the CUBE algorithm. These processes refer to version 2 as just “CUBE”. |
The Combined Uncertainty and Bathymetry Estimator (CUBE) generates a surface that contains multiple hypotheses representing potential depth variances on the seafloor. If you examine these hypotheses in Subset Editor, you can determine if they are valid or not. These hypotheses can be replaced by alternative hypotheses.
If you use a surface filtering tool, soundings that fall outside specified parameters can be rejected and another CUBE Surface generated. In this way, CUBE can be used in an iterative process to filter data to produce the best-possible representation of the surveyed area.
For production of CUBE surfaces and hypothesis editing, see Advanced Options for Configuration — CUBE and CUBE v2.0 section of New Regular Gridded Surface.
