HYPACK®
Hydrographic Survey Software
HYPACK® performs all of the tasks necessary to complete
your single beam or side scan survey from beginning to
end. HYPACK®'s "Field to Finish" process allows you to
collect your data, then apply corrections, automatically
remove data spikes, perform final sounding selection, and
generate smooth sheets or export info to CAD before you
hit the dock.
Read on for additional information about each of the
HYPACK® software modules.
Design
HYPACK® contains powerful tools that let you quickly
design your survey and display your results. Design
tools allow you to quickly:
- Set your geodesy.
- Import background charts.
- Configure your hardware to communicate with your survey computer.
- Create optional support files.
- Planned Lines
- Matrix Files
- Target Files
- Boat Shapes
- ...and more

HYPACK® automatically stores your information to a
project directory, allowing you to set up new surveys
or to quickly switch to an existing survey. All of
this in the Windows™ 2000 or XP environment.
Survey
The HYPACK® SURVEY program allows the flexibility
and power needed to perform your work.
SURVEY supports data collection for over 200 sensors
used in single beam and dual frequency surveys. It
also passes positioning for side scan and ADCP data.
HYPACK® SURVEY was the first to support real-time
RTK tide corrections.
SURVEY's Shared Memory programs enable you to display
and export information from the SURVEY program.
The Matrix 3D Terrain Viewer can be launched from SURVEY
to provide stunning 3D visualizations of existing survey
data which is updated in real-time using information
from shared memory.
SURVEY provides a selection of user-configurable windows
that provide real-time information about your survey in
the formats that are most useful to you.
SURVEY also provides positioning for multibeam/multiple
transducer surveys and dredging operations.
HYSWEEP® SURVEY and DREDGEPACK®, each require an
additional license.

Editing
The HYPACK® graphical editing routines allow
you to quickly edit your survey data.
Water level corrections can be automatically
determined using RTK GPS water level techniques,
telemetry tide gauges, manual observations, or
downloaded from NOAA web sites.
Sound velocity corrections can also be applied
in the editor programs.
Quickly review and edit individual points or
blocks of data to remove outliers.

Final Products
What really puts HYPACK® above the other hydrographic
packages is the variety of final product programs.
The Cross Section and Volumes program is the
standard used by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for
calculation of dredge volume quantities throughout the USA.
The TIN Model Surface Modeling program generates
3-D models, contours, and also computes volumes between
surfaces for beach erosion studies.

The Export program allows users to convert
HYPACK® data to new formats which may be used in
other HYPACK modules or in other software packages.
The most common output formats include:
- DXF/DGN format for use as HYPACK® background
charts or in CAD or GIS packages.
- XYZ formats are used in various HYPACK® programs
or they can be exported to spreadsheets or word processing packages.
- User-Defined Output enable you to extract data from edited
ALL Format files and custom format your output strings.
The Plotting program selects the features to be plotted
and sends the information to the plotter.
The Side Scan Mosaic program is the side scan
processing program. It reads HSX, XTF format side
scan data and draws it to a series of windows ready
for editing in the Raw Data Mode. The edited files are
saved to your project’s edit folder in HYPACK’s HS2 format.
|
Scan View Mode: View your data, one file at a
time. Scroll through each data set, while marking
targets, making notes and taking measurements at
points of interest.
Mosaic Mode converts side scan data to a mosaic.
The mosaic exports as a geo-referenced TIF file which can
be displayed in your project as a background file.
3D Terrain Viewer is a versatile tool that enables
you to closely examine a three-dimensional model of your
survey or dredge area. Launch it from SURVEY or
DREDGEPACK® with existing data and view data updates
in real time.

Scan View Mode of the SIDE SCAN MOSAIC program.
The smaller window is an area of the data that
has been marked to export to a BMP.

The ENC Editor allows you to customize an S57 chart.
You can create a new chart of your own that displays as
many or as few features as you desire, or you can modify
an existing chart by adding, deleting or relocating features.
The ENC Editor can be used together with the SURVEY program to
do real-time chart verification.
