Set the AML productworking environment

CARIS HOM AML 2.0Intelligent AML v1.0 to v2.0 converter

Tool to easily convert AML v1.0 data to v2.0• Conversion rules are stored in an editable lookup

table in XML format• Tool can be run on one or more data sets (batch

mode)• All actions performed (e.g. replace object) are written

to a log file for review

CARIS HOM AML 2.0New cell geometry checks

Checks added to find:• Self crossing lines• Intersecting lines• Duplicate lines• Lines with overlappping segments• Lines shorter than a specified length• Sliver polygons

CARIS HOM AML 2.0 Enhanced Object Import Utility

Object Import Utility now supports import of point, line

and area features from text files or any OBDC compliant

data source (e.g. MS Access, Oracle)

CARIS HOM AML 2.0 New object dictionary builder

New object dictionary builder provides a way to easily

define additional AML objects and attributes

CARIS BASE Editor

New application for storing and managing survey dataOffers improved generation of selected soundings, 3-D surfaces and contours and depth areasHighlights:• Supports industry standard data formats (XYZ, GSF..) • Ability to generate depth areas automatically• DEPARE objects auto-populated with DRVAL1 &

DRVAL2• Export soundings, contours and depth areas to S-57• Publication Designer for plot layouts and printing• 3D fly-through project window

Means faster and more efficient creation of CLB AML’s!

Other CARIS developments relevant to AML

GML support libraries have been created in preparationfor reading and writing GML• This functionality has yet to be implemented in any

products• Capability to write to ‘basic’ GML is a priority• Issue remains in dealing with different flavors (custom

profiles) of GML; a ‘basic’ or generic GML reader may not be able to handle this data

Ongoing work with GRIB and NetCDF format data• E.g. CARIS MetOcean project (real time display of

meteorological and related information) can receive meteorological data in GRIB format
