Teledyne RESON presented new product developments at the Hydrographic Society, including the XRANGE and Full Rate Dual Head systems introduced in 2012. In 2013, RESON introduced new multibeam systems, software features, and pipe tracking capabilities. The presentation discussed the T20 portable sonar processor and detailed new operating modes, water column visualization, automated tracking, multi-detect features, and pipe detection and tracking modules. RESON also demonstrated forward-looking systems and their basking shark research using the SeaBat 7128 system.

- 24. Operating mode - Wide mode • • • • • Number of beams & beam mode are fixed according to the system in use.

- 25. Operating modes – NEW in FP4 • In Equidistance mode Constant Floor Spacing – User definable Beam spacing in meters • In Equiangle mode: – User definable number of beams PAGE 25
- 27. X-Range (Fp3) • • • • X-Range is FM modulation 20-25% longer range No loss of range resolution Noise suppression effect (better Quality data) PAGE 27
- 28. X-Range • Extended range (FM) • Provides increased range (increasing the energy) • Transmit a very long pulse (typically 100-1000 times longer • Using long pulses degrade resolution • Use pulse compression to regain resolution • Improved Noise immunity (by pulse compression) PAGE 28
- 29. X-Range Translated to Survey • Better noise suppression • Better Singal discrimination • Much higher power = more range PAGE 29
- 30. Full rate Dual head (FRDH) Old situation FRDH • • • • • Using X-Range to ping simultaneously Improvement on Dual Head ping rate 2 x 512 Beams -> Extreme amount of data Seamless data set merged together 2 x swath width (10-12 times water depth) PAGE 30

- 37. Tracker – Automation PAGE 37
- 38. Tracker Enhancements • Tracker in FP3 – – – – – Automatic optimization of sonar settings Reduced manual interaction More user-friendly Cleaner data sets Reduced processing time and cost • Tracker in FP4 – Constant swath width – Tilted Heads & Dual Heads – It is now possible to disable certain Tracker control settings for advanced users who wish to remain in control of certain settings PAGE 38
- 40. Multi-Detect • Multiple detections within each beam, including the full water column • Capture enhanced detail from a single survey line over a complex feature • Ensure that full detail is captured of any object in the water column • Up to five detections may occur anywhere within each beam • Note that Multi-Detect is not equivalent to multiple soundings across a beam footprint on the seabed PAGE 40
- 41. Multi-Detect – An Advanced Tool • The surveyor controls the sensitivity of the Multi-Detect algorithm using three controls: • Object Size (Sensitivity): increasing this results in more detections on smaller objects. Decreasing it results in fewer detections and only on larger objects. • Amplitude Sensitivity: increasing this causes more objects to be detected • Max Detections: this control is used to limit the number of detections output for each beam to five PAGE 41

- 51. Pipe Detection and Tracking • • • • Optional Feature or SeaBat System FP4 Searches for the pipe with user defined settings Steers the Flexmode or full swath towards the pipe Shows vessel relative to pipe in helmsman view PAGE 51
- 52. Pipe Detection and Tracking • • • • Pipe diameter entered into SeaBat User Interface Pipe position automatically determined by detection algorithm Pipe displayed on User Interface User interface shows 5 points detection PAGE 52
- 53. Pipe Detection and Tracking - output • Lateral position of pipe calculated • Pipe adjacent depths calculated • Mean seabed depths calculated • Exports: – Top of Pipe – Adjacent markers – Mean seabed markers • Free spans may be calculated PAGE 53
- 54. Pipe detection in the swath • • • • • Detection algorithm initially calculates top of pipe positions BDA searches for detections in vicinity of pipe Pipe detection algorithm automatically matches pipe position Pipe position for next ping is initialised from previous pings Pipe needs to be found several times at (almost) same position in swath • Several pipe detections creates a pipe section PAGE 54
- 55. 5 points output •Top of pipe – Top of inserted pipe •Points left/right from pipe – At distance of half diameter from pipe •Mean Seabed at user defined offset at each side from top of pipe •Points are defined from the MB data points in the swath (not from DTM) •The 5 points are exported in 7k record as a 5 points string (ID 2004) •Format available for software packages PAGE 55
- 56. Pipe detection settings Pipe detection settings are divided in: •Pipe detection in swath •Pipe parts creation •Pipe route creation •Steering of swath •5-points settings PAGE 56
- 57. Detection of pipe in Swath settings • Diameter of pipe • Maximum Free Span (m) and detection threshold – Maximum and minimum distance from seafloor to detect pipe • Statistic Threshold – Finds standard deviation of an area around the pipe. – Higher values allow more deviation • Filters can be used to omit data with bad quality tests Max freespan Detection depth Min threshold PAGE 57
- 58. Pipe steering Steers the swath towards the pipe. Steers either full swath or flex part of the swath. Steering difference – Swath will only steer after a change larger than the difference set Steering delay – Difference has to occur at a number of sequential swaths PAGE 59
- 59. What if? • Two or more pipes are followed at the same time? – More than one pipe can be followed at the same time – Helmsman will show all pipes and select best possible position relative to multibeam. • Pipe changes diameter? – The algorithm also allows changes from the diameter • Pipe is buried under seafloor – The MB system is not able to look beneath the seafloor. – When the pipe shows again it will: • Continue the pipe when the gap is small enough • Create a new pipenumber when gap is too large PAGE 61
- 60. Dual Head Pipe Detection • Sonar offsets and head tilt entered into SeaBat User Interface • Each FlexMode steered to pipe centre • Lateral position from pipe is calculated and: – Displayed to user – Numerically – Graphically PAGE 62
