A List of Bathymetry Survey Software Tools

• qa4mbes-data-pipeline - a work in progress project with a suite of QA checks for Bathymetry data.
• QC Tools by HydrOffice - The overall aim of this tool it to improve data quality issues, to reduce review and acceptance times, and ultimately to reduce ping-to-public times.
• Cube by Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping/Joint Hydrographic Center (CCOM/JHC) - an error-model based, direct DTM generator that estimates the depth plus a confidence interval directly on each node point of a bathymetric grid. In doing this, the approach provides a mechanism for automatically “processing” most of the data and, most importantly, the technique produces an estimate of uncertainty associated with each grid node.
• Caris HIPS and SIPS by Teledyne - HIPS and SIPS™ suite of products offers essential capabilities and professional grade tools for hydrographic data processing. Supporting over 40 industry standard data formats, HIPS and SIPS can easily integrate into any workflow.
• MBQA by mbsystem - MB-System is an open source software package for the processing and display of bathymetry and backscatter imagery data derived from multibeam, interferometry, and sidescan sonars.
• qps suite by Quality Positioning Services - A suite of tools for acquisition, post-processing and QAing seabed data
• HydroBib (Scansurvey) by HydroCharting - a freeware to work with seabed data with a number of QA/QC capabilities.
• Hypack products - a suite of tools for hydrographic data acquisition, post-processing, and management of products.
• PosPac MMS by Applanix - software for Direct Georeferencing of mobile mapping sensors using GNSS and inertial technology.
• QINSy by QPS - QINSy is an integrated navigation system software package used extensively worldwide for acquiring and processing multibeam data.
• Seafloor Information System Quality Assurance (SIS QA) by Kongsberg - SIS QA 2.0 includes tools to detect errors in a dataset. it is used in post-processing of Kongsberg Maritime echo sounder data.
• LasTool by Rapidlasso - It is a collection of highly efficient, batch-scriptable, multicore command line tools to classify, tile, convert, filter, raster, triangulate, contour, clip, and polygonize LiDAR data (to name just a few functions).
• QA4LiDAR by FrontierSI (formerly CRCSI) - Quality assurance tool for airborn LiDAR data acquisition. It includes QA checks for QA/QC point cloud and surfaces against user requirements.
• Beamworx AutoPatch - Fully automated Multibeam Echosounder patch test calculator.
• PDAL - A C++ BSD library for translating and manipulating point cloud data.
