Navigation and positioning

NaviPac provides positioning and navigation features for surface and/or subsea vehicles. It comes in four variants:

  • NaviPac Pro, the variant you see here
  • NaviPac Single User, which offers all the features of NaviPac Pro, limited to a single network/remote client and a single subsea object
  • NaviPac Lite, which is tailored to vessel-based surveys with a single beam echo sounder
  • NaviPac Tug, which is dedicated to the tug boat during anchor handling operations, rig moves and similar jobs

Scroll down to check out an overview comparing what you get with the different variants. With NaviPac Pro, you get the most elaborate variant of the four and can thus benefit from the entire range of features offered by NaviPac for surveys carried out with multi-beam echo sounders, side-scan sonars and/or lasers.

  • Navigation and routes

    Navigation and routes

    NaviPac is an integrated navigation and data acquisition software solution that includes surface and subsea navigation, route and waypoint planning, live tracking and piloting.

    Learn more

    Navigation and routes features

    Navigation and data acquisition are integrated in this software solution. Efficiently and easily navigate surface and subsea vessels using intuitive tools to plan routes and waypoints, track or pilot a vessel and more.

    Display live position of a vehicle

    NaviSuite supports display of vehicle data based on the NaviPac data feed. You can display the main vessel along with one subsea vehicle, such as an ROV or ROTV, on an unlimited number of local and remote displays. The data can be shown graphically in multiple map views.

    Live position of multiple objects

    AIS tracks

    NaviSuite supports integration with AIS receivers. The data can be shown in a dedicated AIS window and overlaid in the NaviPac window. You can perform, read and utilise vessel dimension information.

    AIS tracks

    Display north-up, heading-up, route-up

    Each Map View can be designed and controlled individually when it comes to content, overlays and layout. Map Views can be 2D, 3D or side-views, and orientation can be user defined, north-up, vehicle up or line up.

    Display north-up, heading-up, route-up

    Manual waypoint drawing

    NaviSuite supports a series of runline and waypoint formats including our own RLX/WPT format, ad generic ASCII readers. You can also draw lines and points directly in the Map View.

    Manual waypoint drawing

    Various runline patterns (parallel, cross, star)

    You can inherit multiple lines based on the base line defined, such as parallel or cross lines to get an optimal route plan.

    Various runline patterns (parallel, cross, star)

    Vehicle control panel for multiple vehicle runlines and display DOL

    Assignment of lines and waypoints are handled through the dedicated Vehicle Control view, as you may control multiple vehicles simultaneously. Each controlled vehicle will be available as distance offline indicator (DOL/DCC) and various runline information (along line, target ETA etc).

    Vehicle control panel for multiple vehicle runlines and display DOL

    Distance to waypoint

    Waypoints are handled in a similar manner to runlines, as assignment of the waypoint is done in the Vehicle Control View. Hereafter, an artificial runline is created from the vehicle to the point and NaviPac monitors the range/bearing to the destination. and can a,.o. feed that into autopilots and DP systems.

    Distance to waypoint

    Multi-object live range/bearing

    In NaviSuite, you may pair live vessels and monitor the range/bearings between them for online display as live data and range information on Map Views.

    Multi-object live range/bearing

    Auto-pilot (NMEA) control

    When using runlines and waypoints you may connect NaviPac to autopilot systems using e.g., standard NMEA formats and pass cross-track error and destination waypoints on to the equipment.

    Auto-pilot (NMEA) control

    DataUnits

    NaviSuite supports use of other data units in addition to metric. The unit is selected in the project settings and all definition fields are then assumed to be in the selected data unit. 
    NaviSuite will follow the selected data unit, but you may, by using a simple keystroke, toggle between metric and data unit if required.
    Data recording will still be metric to guarantee data integrity, but data outputs can be selected freely.

    Surface positioning and motion (GPS, Gyro, IMU)

    Setting up an entire vessel based project in NaviPac is easy performed using intuitive graphical definition tools. The video covers basic project definition, geodetics and vessel navigation setup.

    Surface positioning and motion (GPS, Gyro, IMU)

    Subsurface positioning (USBL, DVL, INS, Gyro, IMU)

    Setting up remote and subsea vehicles is done in a similar manner to the main vessel – easy and intuitive. Adding instruments, positioning sources (transponders, INS, LBL etx) and defining weighting and Kalman filter settings is possible.

    Subsurface positioning (USBL, DVL, INS, Gyro, IMU)

    SBE - single beam echo sounder

    Single beam echo sounders and other single source data suppliers can easily be interfaced in NaviPac, either via standard drivers or enhanced user-configurable drivers. Data will be available for display in both Helmsman’s Display and DataMon. Single source data can be shown as points clouds in the HMD – and you can automatically derive DTMs out of it.

  • Point clouds

    Point clouds

    We can create point clouds from sonar and laser systems or from historical XYZ files. Within NaviModel, there are many ways to visualise, edit and optimise point data.

    Point cloud features

    We can create point clouds from sonar and laser systems or from historical XYZ files. Within NaviModel, there are many ways to visualise, edit and optimise point data.

    Import XYZ files

    You can easily model historical data in NaviSuite Kuda and use it for example to plan your survey or compare your results with earlier observations. If you have data in a known format, such as generic ASCII XYZ files, these can be imported as DTMs, point clouds, or TIN models.

    Import XYZ files

    Point clouds with RGB and Intensity

    By default, point clouds can be visualised as a solid colour or as a depth palette. However, if source files contain RGB or Intensity values, we can choose to colour the point cloud with this information instead.

    Point clouds with RGB and Intensity

    Manual cleaning

    A selection window or a polygon can be used to manually clean point clouds.

    Manual cleaning

    Import LAS files and display as RGB or Intensity

    LAS and LAZ files can be imported as DTMs or as point clouds, meaning you can use NaviSuite’s powerful modelling capabilities for validating data in this format. You can also export your model to this format.

    Point Cloud Registration (QuickStitch)

    If point clouds are misaligned, we can use Point Cloud Registration to align them. We accomplish this by first digitising common features, and then performing a least-squared adjustment that moves one point cloud to another.

    Point Cloud Registration (Quickstitch)

    Large Point Clouds

    Large Point Cloud Viewer supports point clouds of virtually unlimited size.

    Play and control video

    Synchronise video with track

    In NaviModel the track contains the date and time and must be synchronised with the video time to enable videos to play.

    Normally the video time and track time are recorded in the same time zone. However sometimes this is not the case and we need the option to change the video / track time so that video will play.

    Synchronise video with track

    Adjust video hue, brightness, contrast and gamma levels

    Hue, brightness, contrast and gamma levels can be adjusted to improve badly lit videos.

    'This past season I have been using NaviPac 4.5 for surveying and I more than approve of this latest version! NaviPac is truly the best navigation and positioning software on the market. As a surveyor, there are many tools and features I love to use in NaviPac. A quick tip for other NaviPac users, I have saved time on my tasks by configuring shortcuts to quickly access the tools I use most.'
