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.
