2. IINS-Integrated Inertial Navigation System
1. Heave-Pitch-Roll-Heading-Position
2. Advantages/Disadvatages
1. Gps coverage/conditions
*Recommendations…intent of survey
*Cost…Time & Money
*not a necessity for SBES
SVEL
Profil
e
1. SVEL Profile Data
1. Collected at minimum
before & after
2. More frequently if
conditions change
3. Time & Position
4. Need to correct data
if gradient exsists
5. More data better

RECAP
-Most data can be stored in .RAW file
-Streaming data is time stamped to align measurements from
different devices
-Questions??
Depth
-How do offsets
affect raw data?
SVEL Final Position
Profile Sounding
Attitude
3 Options
A. 1 antenna
B. 2 antenna(HDG
system)
C. 2-3 antenna w/
IMU
1 Antenna Setup
-One Offset
-Ant. PC to AC
-Only offset needed!
*No need for HDG
*pitch/roll error

2 Antenna Setup
-POS & HDG offsets
-Need vessel datum
-Reference Pt (0,0,0)
- +- convention (software)
-COG vs Transducer
-Software Needs:
-offset to POS antenna
-offset to HDG antenna
2-3 Antenna Setup w IMU
-POS,IMU,HDG offsets
-Need vessel datum
- +- convention (software)
-misalignment angles
Recommended Setup
-Use COG as Ref Pt. for all
software
-Let IINS handle most
offsets
-keep devices as close to
COG as possible
-smaller offsets/lever arms
smaller errors
1 antenna
-Tape measure
2 antenna
-Tape measure
-Total station
2-3 antenna w IMU
-Total Station
-Laser scan
-mm accuracy

2/6/17
-Sonar, GPS, IMU, SVEL
profile
-Offset measurements/Setups
-Questions?
Data Cleaning – removal of invalid data or
outliers
Data Reduction – the process of merging raw
measurements to produce a corrected set of
final soundings in project datum
Equipment
-R8 RTK GPS
-200/28 KHz echosounder
-Bow mount on pole
Project Datum
-State Plane NAD83
-NAVD88

2/6/17
1. Cross check – SBES vs SBES soundings
2. Check Line Statistics – SBES vs MBES
3. Manual polings as an independent check
Equipment
-R8 RTK GPS
-200/28 KHz echosounder
-Bow mount on pole
-Dual Antenna Heading system
Project Datum
-State Plane NAD83
-NAVD88
-Take a look at a survey with incorrect offsets
-What happens to surface model
