Key Features

ArcGIS for Maritime: Bathymetry reduces the complexity of working with bathymetric data. It is focused around four main technical functional areas.

A typical workflow includes Register Explore Compose and Share bathymetric data.

Registration of Bathymetric Data

• Optimized storage of large datasets by creating an index to the data
• Native format of bathymetric data is left intact; data is not duplicated because it is not imported into a geodatabase.
• Standardized metadata is automatically captured in a centralized and scalable geodatabase
• Additional metadata is extendable and configurable based upon your needs

ArcGIS for Maritime Bathymetry leverages the advantages of centralized metadata with the optimization of file based storage.

Explore Your Entire Data Datalog

• Interactively filter through your entire bathymetric data holdings in real-time
• Filter dynamically by simple attribute, metadata, and spatial selections
• Preview datasets for quality control and coverage check
• Edit metadata on the fly and in real-time
• Navigate using a dynamically generated User Interface based on user-configured metadata

Compose Seamless Surfaces in Real-Time

• Create and save rule-based models to generate seamless surfaces from the source data
• Use multi-resolution, variable spatial referencing and temporal
• Access the source data and build composition surfaces without duplicating any data
• Update previously created surfaces when new data becomes available without any extra overhead

Share

• Publish seamless bathymetric surfaces to the Cloud using the ArcGIS system
• Use the Geoprocessing framework to gain value from your bathymetric data
• Model the data into hillshades, slope surfaces, contours, profiles, volume calculations, and more.
• Integrate with complementary technologies
• Use the data for a variety of purposes such as Ports, Ocean Science, Maritime Defense, Hydrography, and Offshore Energy.
