Heading filters are coming to #PINGMapper soon! You can specify the maximum heading deviation over a given distance to automatically remove bends from the mosaic. Better yet, each transect is exported to its own mosaic, allowing toggling a layer order in GIS.

Bug fixes, new features, & compatibility coming to an updated version (3.0??) of #PINGMapper. One is improved bankline polygon export made possible w/ shadow detection neural nets. Works on any sonar recording length. More features to come...

Georeferenced VHF sidescan sonar in waterfall view for quickly recording detailed water column transects with a spacial context. Here shoaling fish are seen amongst the kelp in a high energy coastal environment.

I learned a lot about new applications at the “Advancing sonar techniques for use in fisheries management” symposium at #AFS154! I also shared updates to #PINGMapper.
