Vessel Positioning Model
Vessel position model
•
Weighting and ranking of vessel DGPS receivers
•
•
Solution by weighted mean of enabled receivers. Rank 1 devices are used in the
solution unless all rank 1 devices time-out, in which case the solution uses any rank 2
devices, and so on..
Ranking of vessel heading sensors
Heading devices may also be grouped in ranks. Sensor from the highest rank are
averaged and used in the position model.
• Kalman filter
•
Vessel position derived from Kalman filter output. The initial filter settings are
determined from the vessel dimensions.
• Position status alarms
“State check” panels are provided for each GPS device. Panels provided warnings for
user defined exception conditions (e.g. by HDOP threshold value)

•
•
•

•
•
•
•
Vessel layback: Prediction based on track layback from vessel reference
CMP: Prediction based on real-time, solved, midpoint between the streamer CNG and COS
Source layback: Prediction based on track layback from source tow-point on vessel to nominal COS
Source: Prediction based on real-time, computed, COS position
GAM: Prediction based on real-time computed, mean centre between arrays
Slide 17
Source/Recorder Synchronisation
• Gravel Trigger Unit (GTU): Custom built GPS clock and oscillator
hardware, 3 programmable output triggers, 3 input triggers, interface to
source controller and/or recording system.
• “Shot Radio” link: Dedicated, robust, serial radio link between
shooter(s) and recorder(s). Shot radio link carries only critical data;
predictions, trigger timestamps, header data, multi-shooter control. The shot
radio system will support up to 5 source and recorder vessels without the
need for duplicate equipment sets.
• GPS synchronisation: GPS time prediction messages are transferred
continuously from the source vessel to the recorder(s) at user defined lockdown time prior to shot.
• Header transfer: Navigation and Gun header data are transferred to
the recorder(s) from the source vessel. The TFish system on the recorder
generates external header data.
• Trigger time QC: All prediction times, input and output events are time-
stamped. Immediately after the shot, these times are exchanged between
the source and recorder vessels where they can be differenced for QC and
verification.
• Precision: The timing precision achieved for synchronisation is better than
1 microsecond.
Slide 18
Receiver Cable Deployment & Positioning
• Cable tracking/management
•
Cables are defined in the System Editor and set for deployment with the deployment task
dialogue in the Survey Manager. When a cable is assigned to a task, it is no longer editable in
the System Editor. Once the cable is deployed, it is added to the InSeaCable (ISC) database
and automatically removed from the System Editor. A cable “Recovery” task moves a cable
from the ISC to a vessel configuration, where it is again available for editing in the System Editor.
•
If acoustic beacons are used with the cable, the beacon ID’s can be pre-configured in the
cable definition (System Editor) or read automatically using FRID hardware. The beacon IDs may
be edited manually in the ISC editor after the deployment, say, in the case where a tag read
failed or the beacon was labelled incorrectly; this will update the information for pinging vessels
which receive the ISC updates via the data radio system
• Deployment methods (cable)
•
•
•
Auto-fix: The receiver drop location is taken as the deployment node passes perpendicular to
the preplot.
RFID fix: The last tag read within a defined window is used to mark the drop location.
Manual fix: The drop location is taken manually by use of fix box button or keyboard
Slide 19
Deployment & positioning data flow
Slide 20
Receiver Cable Positioning
Acoustic positioning
•
Drop location and acoustic beacon IDs are contained within the ISC database. The
synchronisation of this database is controlled by the Master vessel on the data radio network.
Pinging vessels, if configured to receive the drop information from the Master, will receive drop
data in real-time allowing simultaneous deployment and acoustic positioning operations, for
instance.
•
Multiple receiver lines may be “pinged” simultaneously
OBC-12 control
•
TriggerFish fully controls the Sonardyne OBC12 transceiver, it assigns interrogation commands, gain
settings, interrogation window sizes and receives ranges.
Acoustic solution
•
Within a single acoustic task operation, all ranges to a beacon are retained, therefore, if the vessel
makes a complete circuit of the receiver line within the task, a full geometric solution may be
obtained.
•
Acoustic solution results are stored after each ping task, and these results are used to weight any
subsequent solutions, this provides an approximation to a geometrically balanced solution if, for
instance, a line is “pinged” in several tasks.
•
Solutions are 3D, least squares. QC is displayed for error ellipse, residuals, number observations by
quadrant.
