CARIS and TOYO Corporation, CARIS' Alliance Partner in Japan, recently held a Ping-to-Chart workshop at TOYO's offices in central Tokyo. The workshop, which focused on the processing and analysis of marine spatial data, allowed participants to gain hands-on experience with the latest versions of CARIS HIPS and SIPS and Bathy DataBASE, as well as obtain insight on upcoming technology improvements.

The two day event provided opportunity for discussions and exercises on the processing of bathymetry, seafloor imagery and water column imagery, as well as the analysis and management of high resolution elevation data sets to address various marine and coastal zone activities.

The workshop was well attended with approximately 30 professionals from various marine related organizations, academic institutes and companies from around Japan participating. CARIS and TOYO would like to thank everyone that participated in the workshop.
