Description:

DRAGSENS Geo Software is used for the exact position estimation of a towed body, sensor, camera, array or net, dragged behind a ship, aircraft or vehicle. The software allows a real-time estimation of the position of a dragged sensor based on the location of a GPS-receiver. The sensor thereby can be dragged underwater, at water or earth surface or be airborne. The software calculates the position of the sensor along the direction opposite to the course by compensation of the drift rate, the rolling and the cornering ability of the towing vehicle. DRAGSENS receives current position data from a standard GPS string (RMC string). From these positions it averages a direction vector. Knowing the length of the tow cable, and the sensor depth, the sensor position is estimated and output in both kilometric and geographic formats. Suitable coefficients help keeping this estimation precise, considering, for example, the cable not as a straight line but as a parabolic arch. DRAGSENS runs under Microsoft Windows and uses two independent serial ports. That also may be USB ports, controlled by a serial port driver. The input port receives the standard position data from the NMEA bus, while the output port gives the sensor position back in both geographic and kilometric format. Several strings with coordinates in different coordinate systems, date / time and additional information are broadcast on the second serial port. They all follow the NMEA standard for the RMC specifications including the checksum bit for transfer controlling. This software at first was developed to add geo tags as an overlay with modern UTM coordinates on the footage taken by a towed underwater video camera. With suitable hardware the program delivers a video image, coming from a towed video camera, with the position as numeric overlay. It will also return the position of any towed sensor, including hydrophones, airguns, sonars or even nets.

KilletSoft converts Geodata for Navigation in free Map Services. How the program TRANSDAT generates KML and GPX files from GeoData of any file format, which can be displayed in Map Services such as Google Earth and OpenStreetMap, is demonstrated here by an example. For mapping applications there are free map services like Google Earth, Google Maps, OpenStreetMap and OpenTopoMap available for everyone who is interested. A frequently needed task is the display of own geodata like points, lines and polygons as objects on the maps provided by these services. The geographic objects can be located on the go via GPS with a smartphone, tablet, satnav or notebook, or it can be included in the planning process in a different way. With the program TRANSDAT by KilletSoft geodata from any source can be converted into the file formats KML and GPX. These file formats are used by mapping software witch utilize map services for the display of external geodata on maps or in satellite images. The file format KML (Keyhole Markup Language) can display the graphic elements like point, line, polygon with attributes like point color, line width and fill color in map services. The GPX file format (GPS Exchange Format) serves the exchange of geodata between programs and provides map services with geodata as waypoints and tracks. TRANSDAT transforms geodata stored in Text, SDF, CSV, xBase, ArcGenerate or Shapefiles from any Coordinate Reference Systems to the required Geographic Coordinates on the WGS84 ellipsoid, and writes them to KML and GPX files. In addition to the required coordinates and for the purposes of labeling the objects, TRANSDAT can write an object name and an object description into the KML or GPX file to be generated. Example for the use of free map services By way of illustration I would like to exemplarily address the solution of a request brought to me by a customer. The customer owns an EXCEL table in which a large number of wooden poles for electricity supply in a rural region are listed. The customer has to make local checks on the wooden poles at regular intervals. He would like the wooden poles to be marked on a map which is displayed on his outdoor device. Such a device can be a notebook, tablet or smartphone for example. With the aid of the activated GPS on the map, the customer wants to locate the wooden poles and be able to directly reach them with his company vehicle. In the further course first is shown how to create a KML file with TRANSDAT. Afterwards several options for the display of the wooden poles in map services using the KML file are described.
