7.0 Interpret
To assist with interpretation of the sidescan data Perspective has many added features
and toolsets. This section briefly describes some of the options available.
7.1 dB-based Imagery
To preserve the full dynamic range of the raw data file, Perspective keeps the data in dBs
instead of downsampling to fit a bitmap palette. This keeps
the maximum data range in the intact in the mosaic file.
Note also that as the cursor moves across the mosaic, the
percent relative intensity is displayed in the cursor
information display in the top left corner of the software.
7.2 Interactive Waterfall Display
The waterfall display in Perspective is closely linked to the map display. Shown below is
the Perspective map view with the waterfall position indicated by the green circle on the
navigation trackline. This position corresponds to the green horizontal line in the waterfall
viewer.
