Classiphi is a powerful hydrographic survey, chart production and sonar mosaicing tool with the unique advantage of automated seabed classification.

Classiphi brings a new dimension to sonar processing offering for the first time automated effective seabed classification.

Until now cable, pipeline, environmental and Naval route surveys all require extensive manual processes. Classiphi from QinetiQ revolutionises the production of seabed classification maps. Using sophisticated image analysis techniques, Classiphi offers repeatable and accurate seabed classification.

As well as cost savings from automated processing and classification, Classiphi features a fully specified, high speed geographical information system - for the ultimate in mosaicing and chart production.

Hand drawn charts be they paper based or electronic can never be entirely reproducible. Likewise highly detailed surveys are time consuming and expensive.

Fully digital and automated production is now possible.

From the input and processing of raw sidescan data to seabed classification and mosaicing - all processes can be carried out automatically - bring survey processing times down to hours. Experienced users find typical savings of 80% on labour costs - allowing your experts to concentrate on using their skills to produce chart, not draw around rocks.

Classiphi is the ideal tool for:

• Cable Route Survey
• Pipeline Route Survey
• Subsea Exploration
• Installation Mapping
• Environmental services and dredging
