h2. Introduction

Seafloor enables you to perform both automatic processing and manual editing of navigation data. The automatic navigation processing offers two methods:
# A spike filter which will remove points which seems to have a speed faster than a certain value.
# Moving average filter which smooths data according to a given "point window" length.
\\

Manual editing is possible by using the *Table View* menu, which is a general menu who combines data tables, 2D view and 3D view.

{note}
The delete methods will actually remove the points from the navigation line, while the smoothing operation will save the original positions, which means that you can return to the unsmoothed version at a later stage.
