QPS Qimera

Qimera is an easy-to-use yet powerful sonar data processing application from QPS.

Qimera supports all major raw sonar file formats and geospatially-corrected file formats in a Dynamic Workflow that revolutionises the way hydrographic data are handled and substantially improves the speed and accuracy of processing multibeam echo sounder data…..all while vastly improving the operator experience. Qimera intelligently and interactively guides the operator through the data processing stages, simplifying what traditionally has been learned through many years of data processing experience. Incorporating the latest computing technologies, the unique IO-balanced, multi-core engine in Qimera is specifically designed to process sonar data as rapidly as possible. The product contains a number of advanced tools including Sound Velocity Profile editing (with associated full refraction application), Calibration (Patch Test), Vertical Heighting (flexibility to assign height source from multiple input files), and Wobble Analysis (troubleshooting common sensor installation/integration issues).

Qimera supervises less experienced users through the various stages of bathymetry data processing by intelligently prompting the necessary action(s). The Dynamic Workflow™ uniquely remembers what actions and settings have been applied to the project data, and hence is able to highlight files that need further processing actions in order to complete the workflow.

As the Asia-Pacific VAR for QPS products Acoustic Imaging can recommend the appropriate Qimera bundle for you, along with necessary add-ons to achieve the best survey results. We provide local support for all Qimera sales and can provide assistance in interfacing the software with your current survey equipment spread.

Acoustic Imaging also offers Qimera as a lease option for shorter term projects.
