Released FEB 05, 2025
Teledyne Geospatial is pleased to announce the release of CARIS HIPS and SIPS 12.1, with the introduction of new workflows for multiple frequency datasets and creating/managing vessel files. In addition there are speed improvements and enhancements to automation by adding python support in CARIS process models. Also keep an eye out for an announcement this fall about new purchasing options for HIPS and SIPS making it easier than ever to work with HIPS and SIPS

The Subset Corrections functionality has been updated with tabs that allow users to add corrections using either the existing manual method or a new automatic method.
The existing Subset Corrections functionality has been added to a new 'Manual (2D Slice)' tab in the Corrections node. The functionality has been updated to allow users to not only add new corrections, but to allow them to manually edit/delete existing corrections within the subset area under each track line.
The new automatic method is accessible from a new 'Automatic (Subset/View)' tab in the Corrections node. Several new settings for automatic correction processing are available, enabling users to correct for Depth, Sound Velocity, or both, along with other settings. An iterative solution is applied to the subset or main track line view, which can be initiated using a Run button and stopped at any point during processing. The results can be previewed in the 2D/3D Subset Views to observe corrections as they progress through iterations. This new automatic corrections feature significantly reduces the time required compared to manual corrections. The features of the Automatic-Corrections are as follows:
Automatic Sound Velocity/Depth Corrections: Automate the correction process for inaccurate sound velocity and depth differences, drastically reducing manual effort.
Iterative Approach: Start, stop, continue, and restart automatic corrections in any desired area, providing flexibility and control.
Real-Time Preview: Preview each line affected by a new profile correction as the process runs, ensuring accuracy and confidence in corrections.
Automatic Outlier Detection: Enable automatic outlier detection to help reduce noise for processing corrections, giving more accurate correction results.
Subset Editor Speed Utilization: The new Subset Editor speed improvements (see "Subset Editor Speed Improvement" section below for more details) are leveraged during the corrections process, with frequent querying and subset loading occurring seamlessly.
Note: An updated license file will be required to use New Automatic-Corrections functionality in HIPS and SIPS 12.1.0. Please reach out to Customer Support for updated license file.
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.
