HIPS and SIPS 12 Training

The comprehensive instructor-led hands-on training allows both new and current users to explore the use of CARIS HIPS and SIPS in the processing of multibeam, backscatter, water column or sidescan data. The course uses presentations, discussions and demonstrations, and hands-on practical exercises. The latest technology in the software will be covered during the course in order to familiarize participants with best practices for processing bathymetric data. This will include working with datasets of different formats, as well as efficient process automation using the next generation process designer!
