Welcome to Triton Perspective!
Triton Perspective™ is a new product line from Triton Imaging that takes advantage of the
latest in software technologies including: multi-core parallel processing, indexed cache files,
workflow wizards, XML project files, multi-resolution tiling, and dB-based rendering to
develop products that are fast, accurate, efficient, easy to use, and that provide the tools
necessary for a broad range of real-world marine applications.
Perspective Map™, a GIS-based mapping package, forms the foundation of Perspective by
integrating the Triton BathyOne™, MosaicOne™, TargetOne™, and SeaClass™ software
modules into a cohesive suite capable of processing, fusing, and displaying sidescan and
multibeam data. Each module is controlled from the Perspective Map environment via
common, embedded user-interface, tools, and displays. Perspective Map displays the output
from these modules as multi-layer, co-registered survey tracks, sidescan sonar images,
bathymetry DTMs, target icons and images, and seabed classification areas and boundaries.
These seafloor image data can be easily combined with other available geo-coded data such
as S-57 electronic nautical charts, coastline maps, and satellite or other GeoTIFF imagery as
required. Output of individual and fused data products in standard formats for processing by
third-party applications is supported.
BathyOne™ will process raw multibeam data
and combine it with vessel position, pitch, roll,
heave, and heading; tides; sound velocity; draft;
and other data to produce accurate corrected
bathymetry grid files. Total Propagated Error
(TPE) of the gridded data is calculated and made
available for review and display. Gridded results
are displayed as layers in Perspective Map along
with other survey data such as coastline vector maps, electronic charts, sidescan mosaics, etc.
A variety of display options are provided for bathymetry layers, including profiling, color-
coding gridded data by depth, relief shading, and transparency adjustment. With these tools,
comparing recently collected bathymetry with other sensor data and historical data sets is a
simple and intuitive process.
