Description
Introducing SonarWiz 8.0
We demonstrated some of the many new features in SonarWiz 7x series and in the upcoming 8.x releases:
- AI-based SS Automatic Target Recognition (ATR)
- Sub bottom multiples suppression
- New File Import method
- New look and feel for Project Explorer
- Updated Windows UI for a modern fresh look
- Performance improvements in drawing, windows etc
AI Automatic Target Recognition
New Project Explorer
Sub Bottom Multiples Suppression
Our Sub bottom multiple reflector suppression filter will detect the predicted multiple and remove it, leaving the surrounding data intact.

Sidescan
Real time tools allow for data analysis and survey monitoring with interfaces to most manufacturers. Processing tools allow for creation of mosaics and many options for data enhancements.
Sub-bottom
Explore sediment layers in-depth with real-time analog and digital data acquisition and post-processing modules. Auto reflector tracking and creation of layers provide the tools needed for full analysis.
MULTIBEAM
Collect and process multibeam and Lidar data. Real time displays for all sensor data for QC monitoring. Intuitive and easy to use tools for data cleaning, including manual and automatic filtering.
Single beam
Easy to use interface for data logging and processing. Data input from single beam sensor, motion sensor and navigation devices. Swath editor for data cleaning and performance test.
SURVEY PLANNING :
Load background maps and charts from a range of formats including DNC, RNC, S57, and GeoTIFF.
Automatically plan survey lines parallel to a reference line, within a polygon based on either efficiency or conventional patterns.
Generate planned survey maps as a GeoPDF, GeoTIFF, ECW, JPEG or Google Earth.
Estimate survey timing.
POST-PROCESSING
Preview files with the SNIFF feature.
Add and fix navigation data with NavInjectorPro.
Leverage advanced signal processing and gain control; take advantage of features such as beam angle correction, de-striping, non-linear per channel TVG, AGC, Band Pass Filtering and Stacking, Contact (target) capture, annotation, and summary reporting via 3D Viewer.
Employ flexible layback configurations.
Easily printable output.
Grid/contour isopach-type shapefile / grid generation from selected variables (e.g. altitude + depth).
HARDWARE COMPATIBILITY
SonarWiz is compatible with the following Sonar Hardware:
Atlas NA, C-MAX, EdgeTech, Falmouth Scientific, GeoAcoustics, Imagenex, Innomar, Jetasonic, Klein Marine Systems, Knudsen, Kongsberg Hugin AUV, Kongsberg Mesotech, Marine Sonic, PingDSP, R2Sonic, SyQwest, Teledyne Benthos, Teledyne Gavia, Teledyne Odom, and Tritech.
Please see our Supported Interfaces and File Formats for a list of the many formats we support. If you don’t see one you need just ask!
REAL-TIME DATA ACQUISITION
Leverage the SonarWiz Layout Manager to position windows and menus for maximum efficiency; save frequently used layouts.
Control viewing of incoming statistics with System Info Display; edit and save display configurations.
Connect sensors and monitor positioning quality with GPS Quality parameter indicators.
Use right and left survey line indicators to facilitate helmsman operations.
Acquire sonar, navigation sensor, depth sensor, payout meter and magnetometer data simultaneously.
Configure the comprehensive real time signal processing and gain controls including Auto Gain, Auto TVG, Manual Linear Gain and Manual TV. Gains only affect visual information, not raw data.
Control mosaic creation in real time with Mosaic Mode; feature helps manage large surveys by displaying only data that’s been specifically requested.
Track towfish height above seafloor automatically with Real Time Bottom Tracker.
Capture contacts and digitize features in real time or post processing.
Preserve the full fidelity of sonar data across multiple formats. For example SonarWiz allows for recording in industry standard XTF or vendor-specific formats such as Edgetech JSF or GeoAcoustics GCF.
