What DelphMap Does
Starting with one or more files DelphMap recognizes ‘File Types in DelphMap’),
DelphMap displays one or more “layers” of multiple, geocoded sonar imagery, or
color-coded DTM (Digital Terrain Model) imagery, and bathymetry contour vector
graphics. The imagery displays according to the geo-coding in the file or files,
creating a mosaic. If the mosaic contains multiple layers, they can be
superimposed over any other layer.
File Types in DelphMap
In order to display images in DelphMap, you first create a DelphMap project. A
project file contains no actual imagery, either vector or raster; instead, a project
file contains a list of references and path information to the various files that may
be present in a DelphMap project. Project files are denoted by the filename
extension DMP. A .DMP file is created by DelphMap whenever a project is
saved.
You put DelphMap images into a project file either by inserting files as layers or
by importing them into a DelphMap project.
Types of files that can be inserted as layers directly into a DelphMap project:
*.AIF,*.VOB
Older versions of mosaic files.
*.BSB a non-TEI, proprietary image format for navigational charts
*.CLA
Questor Tangent Classification (QTC) files.
*.DDS_VIF Generated by BathyPro (processed bathymetry data as a DTM)
or generated by Isis Sonar (SSS imagery). This Visual
Information File (VIF) can contain many sublayers, enabling the
merging of different data types for display in DelphMap. For
example, a single .DDS_VIF could contain both bathymetry
(topographical) and side-scan sonar (non-topographical) data.
*.DXF AutoCAD Drawing Exchange Format, (up to and including
version R14), vector graphics, labels, lines, shapes.
*.ENC Electronic Navigational Chart format
