ABSTRACT 0623687 (Caress/Chayes)Intellectual Merit: This work is a five-year renewal of support for the development and maintenance of the MB-system, an open source, freely available software package for the processing and display of swath mapping sonar data. It includes the development of functionality as well as visualization tools for editing bathymetry, analyzing sonar bias parameters, and real-time survey display. The work permits on-going user support, improvement of software documentation, and support for new sonar data formats. The heart of the system is an input/output library that allows programs to work transparently with any of the 61 supported swath sonar data formats. Through this approach, generic utilities can be developed that can be applied in a uniform manner to sonar data from a variety of sources. Data to which this software is applied includes bathymetry, beam intensity, and sides can data. Broader Impacts: Broader impacts of the work are increasing the infrastructure for science, serving the needs of researchers using multi-beam sonar data for marine geology and geophysics research, and facilitating data analysis and visualization. This work supports researchers at the Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory in New York and at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in California.

摘要 0623687 (Caress/Chayes)智力优点：这项工作是对 MB 系统开发和维护的五年更新支持，MB 系统是一个开源、免费提供的软件包，用于处理和显示测绘声纳数据。 它包括功能的开发以及用于编辑测深、分析声纳偏差参数和实时测量显示的可视化工具。 这项工作允许持续的用户支持、软件文档的改进以及对新声纳数据格式的支持。 该系统的核心是一个输入/输出库，允许程序透明地使用 61 种受支持的测绘条声纳数据格式中的任何一种。 通过这种方法，可以开发通用实用程序，以统一的方式应用于来自各种来源的声纳数据。 应用该软件的数据包括测深、波束强度和侧面数据。更广泛的影响：这项工作的更广泛影响是增加科学基础设施，满足研究人员使用多波束声纳数据进行海洋地质学和地球物理学研究的需求，并促进数据分析和可视化。 这项工作为纽约拉蒙特·多尔蒂地球观测站和加利福尼亚州斯克里普斯海洋学研究所的研究人员提供了支持。
