Applanix' POS™ technology was originally developed and rigorously tested as part of an extensive military project. This proven technology was enhanced, customised and packaged to yield an off-the-shelf commercial product, uniquely suited to the requirements of precision marine motion sensing, hydrographic surveying and charting.
Current users include many of the world's largest marine contractors and navies, which rely on POS MV's accuracy and robustness for their precise marine survey requirements.
TrueHeave Software
Using new heave processing algorithms TrueHeave now enables heave data to meet and exceed the highest marine industry standards.
POS MV systems equipped with TrueHeave technology have sufficient computational speed to generate a secondary estimate of heave shortly after the initial sonar acquisition event. Delayed time heave output not only removes many of the compromises that must be made in real-time, but also provides near real-time QC of heave performance.
Cost effective solution
TrueHeave significantly reduces filter settling time when compared to traditional heave filters, which can almost completely eliminate the need for line run-ins. This means a saving of several minutes per survey line, which can translate into a saving of hours or even days worth of labor and vessel costs.
