CARIS Collect provides tools for interfacing and collecting all of the sensor streams necessary to complete high quality and professional survey projects. This includes support for most multi/single-beam sonars, laser scanners, and the auxiliary positioning, navigation and sound velocity sensors. There are several tools and online displays available to support running pre-planned and free-hand surveys. The survey planning tool allows pre-planned survey lines to be generated and loaded into a project for use in map and helmsman views. There are several options for online views which allow raw and georeferenced data streams to be viewed live, as the surveys progresses, in 2D/3D and waterfall displays. Several corrections for sound velocity, and water levels can also be applied during data collection.
