About this release

We are proud to present Geocap 6.3 which contains considerable technological advances in the areas of seismic data loading and seafloor data management. See our illustrated highlights section.

Together with improvements in everything from workflow recordings to arbitrary image georeferencing Geocap asserts itself as a true multipurpose tool for the geoscientific community.

Some highlights in Geocap 6.3

1. New seismic brick cube technology

Brick technology allows you to display and process arbitrarily large 3D seismic datasets using parallel processing and brick partitioning.
This technology was developed for handling huge datasets on relatively small computers. We have successfully imported a 314 Gigabyte SEG-Y file and run the visualization on a laptop computer.

2. Multibeam editing and flagging in 2D and 3D

Multiple multibeam survey lines can now be edited in both 3D view and 2D cross section view simultaneously. The same editing capabilities are available both in 2D and 3D.
The editor has undo/redo functionality. Deleted points are only flagged (marked) as deleted, and can easily be un-deleted at a later stage.

The new Point Flag Visibility Filter dialog lets you easily control the visibility of any set of XYZ points according to their flags. When adding filters the default mode is Hide.

3. Georeferencing - Morph and World pick

The Geo Reference command will now show the image/map in a standalone window. This enables you to pick reference tie point from displayed data in the graphics window using the World Pick button.

A new georeferencing method has been added. Morph image can be used to force an image/map to fit, using an arbitrary number of tie points. The new image will have a 100% match in the position of the tie points.
In the area between tie points, the image will be interpolated smoothly. Using this option, the new image is a re-sampled version of the original image.

A new Preview button lets you evaluate the result by displaying it in the graphics window together with other data, before completing the georeferencing.

4. Workflow Recorder and easier data input

The workflow recorder makes it easier than ever to create and modify workflows. Start recording, and commands will automatically be added as elements to the workflow as you make your visualizations from the project.
Several other improvements have also been added. By copying commands from the Toolbox and into the workflow, the selected dataset in the project will automatically be used as input data.
To change input data, simply select the dataset in the project and click the
