Visual: A Visualization System for Accessing and Analyzing Multi-Sensor Data

Abstract

Visual is a visualization system used to access and analyze high volume multisensor data collected from remotely operated underwater vehicles. Since 1991, scientists have used Visual for scientific visualization and analysis of underwater surveys ranging from real time survey monitoring, to geological mapping and interpretation of hydrothermal vent sites, to a forensic study of a shipwreck. This report describes Visual's capabilities and gives examples of typical applications for Visual including sonar visualization, real time monitoring, and multisensor data access and analysis. This report also includes a Use's Manual and Reference Guide for the Visual system.
