    • @SonarTechSkills
      @SonarTechSkills 11 місяців тому

      Depends on make, model, brand, and how deep you need to go. Of the professional systems you can expect to pay around 50k. The system I would recommend is the ARC Explorer MKII from Marine Sonic that comes with everything needed to get to 120’ of depth. It has a max depth configuration of 300’ and choice of chirp dual simultaneous frequencies of 600/1200kHz or 900/1800kHz. Let me know if you would like more information.

      @@SonarTechSkills Which type of side scan sonar would you recommend for Dredging? This dredge works is for a Port so that it can allow for bigger vessels to pass through and anchor.

    • @SonarTechSkills
      @SonarTechSkills 11 місяців тому

      If you are using it for Dredging you will probably need to precisely measure depth and width down to about 65 feet. The Explorer MKII 600/1200 will do everything you need and be able to map out the coordinates. You may need an additional piece of software like Hypack, Sonar Wiz, or Sonar TRX so you can create a geo tiff chart overlay depending on how you need to display the results. If you are doing advanced dredging around cables, pipes, tunnels etc. The client may want Bathymetric data too which is a different type of system.

      @@joseanunez5309 I would recommend the Marine Sonic ARC Explorer MKII 900/1800kHz Side Scan for the Survey. It has a built in variable angle bracket and adjustable transducers designed specifically to do vertical images as you described for the seawall. The 1800kHz will give 0.5cm resolution to see the details in the cracks and fabric. marinesonic.com/product/arc-explorer-mkii A mosaic image would be created in a separate post processing software. There are several of those to choose from different at price ranges. Hypack or SonarWiz are the two professional software packages that I would recommend, but if you are on a budget then SonarTRX is an OK option.

  • @kenpurcell5500
    @kenpurcell5500 Рік тому

    This might help you describe how different frequencies of an acoustic wave produces different imaging, especially resolution and distinguishing between objects in close proximity. The key component is actually the horizontal beam width (for a tow fish system) that a transducer produces. Higher frequencies use different, more directional, transducers which produce more narrow beam widths. Think of the horizontal beam width as a knife, cutting into an object. The more narrow, the more cuts or slices of the object, the more you're going to see of that object. This is also how objects that are near each other can be separated and displayed. The down side to higher frequencies is reduced scan range. All frequencies from the time they're generated through a medium (like water), will dissipate power over time. The higher the frequency, the more rapid the power loss...hence less range. Sonar systems are regulated in the amount of power they can generate. I think Mark Atherton may have described this a bit in his book, Echos And Images.

    • @SonarTechSkills
      @SonarTechSkills Рік тому

      Absolutely, But you are getting way to technical for this "Basics" video. Mark does a good job in his book. It's sad that its no longer available. It was one of the best resources for side scan users. Mark's a good friend of mine and I have been trying to convince him to revamp the book and put it back on the market. I get into the depths of the technical side in my more advanced classes, but those agencies have to pay for.

    Wow, love that image of the pickup truck at 9:56 in your video. BTW, that's a Ford Ranger..part of a homicide investigation in Cincinnati. It was taken using a technique that we developed using Marine Sonic HDS 900Khz. My name is Ken Purcell. There still might be a few at Marine Sonic that remember me. When I say we developed it... we did. In fact, this is a vertical scan. Now, Marine Sonic did have a method and a clamp system to allow rotation of the tow fish, but the way they describe to do it was not correct. After sending images of bridge piers and a car, using our way...John DeMille and others asked me to write up an article on this. It was published in Ocean News and Technology, August 2012 edition. In fact, it was the feature story on page 10. Now today, many cheaper systems can do the same, but most have the transducers mounted to the vessel. But, with a tow fish, you control the depth and the scan range which is big advantage. By getting the tow fish closer to the object, you can reduce the scan range, which increase the size and (believe or not) the resolution of the image. The one car image we did, you can see the door handles, window rolled down...almost the lug nuts on the wheels. Not kidding.

      @SonarTechSkills 2 роки тому

      Sea Scan Survey from Marine Sonic is only used with Marine Sonic sonars, but it is free to download and I can send you a survey file to play with. All side scans or sonars in general will come with their own software. However, there are several Collection and Post Processing software packages available like Sonar Wiz, Hypack, and Sonar TRX. All at different price points with different degrees of tools and user friendly ability. MST & SDS are proprietary file Formats for Marine Sonic and XTF is the universal file format for the industry. MST files are used on systems pre 2009 and SDS is the primary file system after. We have free convertors that will transfer MST to SDS to XTF. If you are working with an after market software package you will need to convert to XTF. With All that said, Id be happy to help. You can start by going to MarineSonic.com and registering for the site. Once registered you can download SeaScan Survey (You won't need the drivers unless you have a sonar). Then shoot me an email (My email address is in the last few min of the video) and I'll send you a survey or two that you can play with. I also have a video showing how to use the software but its pretty intuitive. Hope that helps...
