Come share your innovative #sonar techniques in fisheries research and management at #AFS155 in San Antonio, TX, August 10-14, 2025!

#PINGMapper v4.0 features a super simple install & user experience! PINGInstaller enables installation in 2 steps & PINGWizard allows point & click interaction! Try it out!

Heading filters are coming to #PINGMapper soon! You can specify the maximum heading deviation over a given distance to automatically remove bends from the mosaic. Better yet, each transect is exported to its own mosaic, allowing toggling a layer order in GIS.

Bug fixes, new features, & compatibility coming to an updated version (3.0??) of #PINGMapper. One is improved bankline polygon export made possible w/ shadow detection neural nets. Works on any sonar recording length. More features to come...

I learned a lot about new applications at the “Advancing sonar techniques for use in fisheries management” symposium at #AFS154! I also shared updates to #PINGMapper.

I co-instructed the “Side Scan Sonar: Cutting-Edge Tools for Managing Habitat” last week at #AFS154 in Honolulu, HI with Adam Kaeser & Josey Ridgeway. Looking forward to expanding this workshop in the future!
