Qimera 2.4.6 Release

14 March 2022

We are pleased to present Qimera 2.4.6.

Highlights

• Multi-Frequency filtering support for Kongsberg kmall files
• More smoothing options in the navigation editor, cable/pipe tracker sensor editor and TOP detection tool
  • Smooth the original solution or smooth current solution
  • Remove all smoothing
  • Preview the smoothing settings before applying
• All detections, including unused detections, will now be saved with the dynamic cable/pipe
• Allow any dynamic cable/pipe to be loaded back into the TOP detection tool even if it isn't parallel to the route, by selecting the dynamic cable/pipe as the line to follow
• Improved the speed of the TOP detection tool when working with large ascii files
• Added the ability to load a reference line from a file directly in the TOP detection tool
• Manual Edit button in the TOP detection tool will now stay activated when stepping along a dynamic cable/pipe

Bugs

• Processing / Source Files
  • Fixed an issue extracting Hypack HSX files with the wrong start of file time
  • Allow contours to be generated when the contour interval falls outside the range of the surface, these contour intervals are skipped
  • Allow contour files in the Qimera project to be overwritten if saving new contours with the same name
  • FAU files that have all soundings rejected can now be brought into Qimera
  • Fixed an issue with NOAA CO-OPS tide import that was rounding negative tide values
• Tools and Editors
  
  • Smoothing Depth, Across or Both is now found in the smoothing options dialog
  • Changed the title bar for the Wobble Tool warning message, it was previously listed incorrectly as the patch test tool
  • Fixed an issue with the mouse pointer staying as the loading icon when the wobble tool was launched
  • Fixed an issue with the Cross Check plot not updating when the custom parameters were changed
  • Fixed a revert to original issue in the cable/pipe tracker sensor editor that did not update the surface after reverting
  • Fixed the issue causing a warning message to be displayed when editing the dynamic cable/pipe when it contained reference line detections
  • Fixed an issue that caused the first TOP detection to be at 0 depth and 0 dx
  • Improved canceling the TOP detection when processing the entire line. Qimera would previously take much longer to cancel and would appear to hang
  • Fixed a Qimera slowdown when saving a water column snapshot
• Importing / Exporting
  
  • Fixed an issue with Kongsberg kmall export to GSF when the project was created in older Qimera versions
  • Fixed an issue with Kongsberg kmall files not automatically detecting different vessel
  • Added an extra warning for unsupported processed point files during import
  • Fixed a 0,0,0 x,y,z position when exporting to ascii from the cable/pipe analysis tool using a custom step interval
  • Fixed an issue with OSGB geodetic transform causing QPD files not to match to .DB files
  • Dynamic Surfaces can now be exported with better support for character encoding
  • Added a warning if a project was opened and the QGFVOM was not found
• Other
  
  • Min and max range in the colormap will now return the correct color, not the underflow / overflow color
  • Fixed a crash when changing a Dynamic Surface from displaying height to uncertainty 95%cl
  • Fixed an issue with CUBE histograms that had a 0.0 data range
