FLEDERMAUS SUITE
Interactive Visualization Systems (IVS 3D) is the market leader in the provision of interactive 3D visualiza-tion and analysis software for marine information. The Fledermaus software suite enables commercial, academic and military clients mapping the oceans to interact with massive geographical datasets of numerous data types. |
FM Viz4D - Fledermaus 4D - Working in Space and Time
- Intuitive high-resolution visualizations of data for analysis and interpretation, from multiple data formats and sources.
- Time framework, full geo-spatial referencing, simplified surface creation, and integrated suite of quantitative tools.
- Used by researchers, educators, content developers, outreach professionals, cartographers, illustrators, and marketing personnel.
FM Hydro – Beyond Charting - The Modern Hydrographic Workflow
- Premier tool for fast efficient geo-spatial processing, quality control, and validation of hydrographic survey data.
- Most flexible CUBE1 implementation available for rapid surface and sounding processing and verification.
- Used by surveyors/data processors in the field, charge surveyors/data QC personnel ashore, and charting authorities verifying data for databases and charting.
FM Habitat - The Integrated Marine Habitat Toolbox
- Only software package to combine 4D visualization with cutting-edge backscatter processing (FMGeocoder2Toolbox), bathymetric analysis for seabed characterization and a direct connection to ArcGIS3 software.
- Generate and export the results of seabed interpretation and associated information in a variety of common industry formats.
- Used by geoscientists and technicians characterizing the seafloor, and interdisciplinary habitat mapping teams of biologists, geologists, and managers requiring a collaborative working environment, efficient classification tool, and presentation software.
FM Offshore - Modern and Dynamic Tools for the Offshore Project
- Tools for the planning, monitoring and review of seabed engineering and construction projects.
- Enhance site investigations, identify geohazards, manipulate and analyze proposed route design information in an intuitive virtual environment.
- Used by project surveyors planning projects, data processors, project engineers, site investigation teams, offshore surveyors and ROV supervisors.
FM Pro – The Ultimate Bundle
- All of the core tools of the Fledermaus software suite4.
- Combines all of the functionality from the individual FM Bundles to provide those companies and organizations that work across all areas of ocean mapping a suite of powerful tools to tackle complex challenges.
Optional Modules
- Certain FM bundles include some of the optional modules listed below (see the FM Bundles Comparison Chart for more information). However they can be added to ANY bundle as an extra option.
IView4D (Free Viewer)
iView4D is a free viewer for files in the Fledermaus file format. iView4D supports SD and Scene files created in Fledermaus 7 as well as being backwards compatible with version 6. This program contains only the basic viewing capabilities of Fledermaus but is freely downloadable.
- Easier control of multiple SD objects in a scene and support for objects organized in hierarchies (from Fledermaus v7).
- Support for scenes that include time based visualization.
- View data in the ".sd" or ".scene" format.
- Same powerful ShiftScapeTM rendering engine as used in Fledermaus.
- Supports almost all Fledermaus data types - DTMs, images, points, lines, models, etc.
- Easy to use widget based interface.
- Basic geo-referencing information.
- Vertical Exaggeration control.
- Show or hide the different objects in the scene.
- Support for split-screen stereo.
