Fledermaus Professional is a powerful 3D data visualizationsystem that uses the same core technologies as FledermausStandard, plus adds a sophisticated Area Based Editingmodule, cable and route planning, and real-time tracking ofobjects. Fledermaus Professional is used in a variety ofapplications such as swath bathymetry editing and qualitycontrol, marine construction, military applications, andcoastal zone mapping.

Featuring the same intuitive data display as FledermausStandard, Fledermaus Professional is capable of visualizinglarge volumes of data of numerous types in a single 3Dscene with the powerful ShiftScapeTM rendering engine. Datadisplay can be controlled with the Bat, an intuitive 6degree of freedom input device.

A wide variety of industry standard formats are supportedfor direct import of data to the 3D scene, and Fledermausalso allows data from remotely operated vehicles, ships orother entities, to be visualized in real-time. Due to itsflexible object oriented software design, Fledermaus can beeasily tailored to support many additional visualizationmodules.

Features:

Display scales automatically from high-end to low-end systems using the powerful ShiftScapeTM rendering engine.
Multiple data sets and types of different resolution can be visualized and interactively explored at the same time.
Integrated support for very large data sets.
All data sets can be geo-referenced in the 3D scene.
Users can interactively query data sets to select coordinates for profiles and measurements.
Advanced object oriented architecture allows easy integration of new data types into the system.
Explorations can be recorded and used to create movies of data exploration sessions.
Visualizations can be displayed in 3D stereo with suitable graphics hardware.
Software and data files can be used across wide variety of computer platforms from laptops to large immersive visualization systems.

Data Types
Digital elevation models.
Gridded and un-gridded geo-spatial data.
Seismic sub-surface data.
Imagery such as maps, charts, aerial photos, still or mosaic video imagery, and satellite imagery.
Images as flat geo-referenced 2D plane, draped on surface or vertical images.
Measurement planes and grids.
DXF CAD format.
Solid model 3DS or OBJ files.
Animated surfaces.
ArcView data (shape files, grids, and imagery).
Various multibeam sonar data and processing formats - GSF, CARIS HDCS, SHOALS, HTF, and ASCII.

Data Capacity
Integrated support for very large data sets.
Data set size not limited by software.

Data Processing
Software allows for the importing of numerous surface data formats including ASCII xyz and gridded data, GMT GRD / NetCDF, Etopo2 and 5, USGS DEM, NOAA Gravity database, Grass, binary raster data, DTED, Arcview, ERMapper, and many others.
Gridding application for random point XYZ and attribute data.
New data formats are easily added.
Surfaces are colour coded by height, depth or any other attribute (such as imagery) that can be draped over a DTM.
Contour generation and output including labels.
Gradient tools.
Surface difference and volume computation tool.
Histogram tools.
Output of ASCII XYZ files of gridded surface and line objects
Output of images, map sheets and movies.
Manipulate georeferenced imagery including cropping, resizing, etc.

3D Visualization
Multiple data sets of differing types and resolution can be visualized and explored at the same time.
No need to resample to a single resolution, data loaded at native resolution.
All data sets can be geo-referenced.
Drape 2D point, line and polygon objects to the 3D surface.
Users can interactively select data points to get geo-referenced 3D co-ordinates and perform profiling.
Advanced object oriented architecture allows easy integration of new data types into the software.

2D Visualization
Color-coding can be interactively designed or modified by the user.
Surfaces are illuminated with an artificial lighting and have cast shadows.
Allows exploration of the data with continuous zoom and translation abilities.
Provides profiling, histogram and other tools to analyze the surface data.
Users can interactively select data points to get geo-referenced 3D co-ordinates and perform profiling.

Movie Making Tools
Exploration flights path recorded in Fledermaus and associated package of tools to produce digital movies.
Output movies in MPEG1 or MPEG2 format, or as raw frames.
