Description:

In the world of seafloor mapping, the ability to explore and experiment with a dataset in its raw and processed forms is critical. Kluster is an open-source multibeam data processing software package written in Python that enables this exploration. Kluster provides a suite of multibeam processing features, including analysis, visualization, gridding, and data cleaning. We demonstrated these features using a recently acquired dataset from a Kongsberg EM712 multibeam echosounder aboard NOAA Ship Fairweather. This test dataset served to illustrate the fundamental analysis abilities of the software, as well as its utility as a troubleshooting tool both in the field and during post-processing. Kluster has the capability to perform the Sonar Acceptance Test in full, including common experiments like the patch test, extinction test, and accuracy test, which are generally performed on new systems. When questions arise regarding the integration or parameter settings of a system, this software allows the user to quickly and clearly visualize much of the raw data and its associated metadata, which is a vital step in any investigative effort. With its emphasis on accessibility and ease of use, Kluster is an excellent tool for users who are inexperienced with multibeam sonar data processing.
