The following performance improvements have been made to the subset editor, which allows users to view and clean processed depth profiles:
-
Faster Querying: Experience significantly reduced wait times when querying data, enhancing overall productivity.
-
Rapid Subsequent Subset Loading: The current subset's memory is freed up much more quickly, allowing users to load the next subset rapidly and continue their workflow with minimal interruption.
-
Enhanced Graphical Rendering: Enjoy quicker and more responsive graphical updates, making data visualization more efficient.
-
Partial Surface Update Delay: A new feature that allows user to delay partial surface updates (Automatic Surface Update must be on in Tools > Options and Keep Up to Date surface property must be set), optimizing performance during intensive tasks.

Through a partnership with the UK Hydrographic Office, Teledyne CARIS has expanded its AI driven services offered on the CARIS Mira AI platform. The ADMIRALTY GAM Service classifies sonar noise using an enhanced Generalised Additive Model (GAM). This model works through your point cloud data adapting to identify noise within your data set. The model is a cloud-based algorithm which is securely accessed directly from the HIPS and SIPS. The algorithm assigns soundings within your point cloud as noise which can be rejected whilst running the ADMIRALTY GAM Service or can be reviewed in the Subset Editor for further evaluation.

For example, users may easily add a new smoothing band to a coverage while reviewing contours for charting.
For the users looking for the easiest way to open and process their data, HIPS and SIPS now supports Drag and Drop for sensor files. When you Drag and Drop raw sensor files onto the application, the raw sensor data is automatically processed into a georeferenced point cloud and a gridded surface.
HIPS and SIPS 11.0 also introduces a new process to correct and georeference their sensor data. The new Georeference Bathymetry process is a single process which replaces Sound Velocity Correction, Load Tide, Compute GPS Tide, Merge and Compute TPU. With Georeference Bathymetry, the same trusted algorithms from the previous processes are still applied, however there are several benefits to the user by combining the algorithms into a single process:
HIPS and SIPS 11.0 introduces several user interface changes which improve the user experience while interacting with data. The new application interface provides a consistent user experience across the CARIS product line when filtering, grouping, and setting up display properties. Some of the improvements you will see are:
It is now possible to include a Process Model inside another Process Model using File > Insert Model. This makes it easier to manage complex Process Designer models by defining common capability once and re-using it multiple times. In the example below, a Process Model for Creating or Updating a Surface has been inserted into the main Process Model, which is clearly identified by its teal colour.
