Teledyne CARIS HIPS and SIPS 13.0: Hydrographic Data Processing Software

HIPS and SIPS 13.0 is the latest version of Teledyne CARIS' professional hydrographic data processing software for bathymetry, water column, and seafloor imagery . It provides a complete toolkit for processing multibeam, single-beam, side-scan sonar, and lidar data in a single application .

Key Features

AI-Powered Noise Classification

• CARIS Mira AI Integration: Reduces manual cleaning effort by up to 10x with 95% accuracy

• Automatic Sonar Noise Detection: Identifies and classifies the vast majority of sonar noise without manual intervention

• Cloud-Based Processing: Data is anonymized and encrypted before transmission; no data remains stored after processing

Core Processing Capabilities

• Multi-Sensor Support: Single beam, multibeam, side-scan sonar, airborne lidar

• Format Support: Over 40 industry-standard sonar formats (Atlas, CMAX, EdgeTech, GSF, Hypack, Qmips, SEGY, Simrad, XTF, etc.)

• Total Propagated Uncertainty (TPU): Error estimation for final position and depth records

• CUBE Algorithm: Combined Uncertainty and Bathymetry Estimator for semi-automated data cleaning

Vessel & Sensor Management

• Vessel File Editor: HVF (HIPS Vessel File) defines sensor offsets and error estimates in XML format; converts legacy VCF files

• Sensor Configuration: Gyro, heave, pitch, roll, tide, GPS RTK data correction

• Sound Velocity Correction: Complete workflow for SVP application
