CARIS was recently in Hong Kong conducting a CARIS HIPS and SIPS training course with the Hong Kong Marine Department. The Marine Department is responsible for all navigational matters in Hong Kong and the safety standards of all classes and types of vessels.

The primary focus of the training course was to learn the latest processing workflows in HIPS and SIPS for processing hydrographic data and creating hydrographic products. Training topics included CUBE, backscatter, side scan, and a sneak peak of the latest enhancements to the water column and calibration editor tools which will be released in HIPS and SIPS 8.0.
