Abstract: The Sonar Multiview Engine is a system for sonar data processing to enhance analysis and display of the sonar data. The Sonar Multiview Engine may include a use of sonar data from multiple sensors and three subsystems: a multiview processing and storage system, a Multiview Analysis Subsystem, and a multiview display system. The Sonar Multiview Engine uses data processed by sonar instruments and navigation instruments as input. The Sonar Multiview Engine may be used to produce geophysical and hydrographic seafloor maps, seafloor acoustic reflectance models, seafloor terrain models, and other representations and analyses for interpretation or understanding of the seafloor. The Sonar Multiview Engine may be applied to either new sonar data or existing sonar data that may be stored or streamed directly to the engine.

Abstract: A system for communicating between a field device, a device controller for the field device, and an enterprise application distinct from the device controller includes a single communication device configured to communicate with each of the field device, the device controller, and the enterprise application. The single communication device is configured to facilitate bi-directional communication between the field device and the device controller, and bi-directional communication between the field device and the enterprise application. The single communication device is configured to replicate data received from the field device and queue the data for communication with both the device controller and the enterprise application.

Abstract: A system for communicating between a field device, a device controller for the field device, and an enterprise application distinct from the device controller includes a single communication device configured to communicate with each of the field device, the device controller, and the enterprise application. The single communication device is configured to facilitate communication between the field device and the device controller, and the field device and the enterprise application. The single communication device is configured to replicate data received from the field device and, after replication of the data, separately filter the data for the device controller and the enterprise application.
