HydrOffice
A Research-to-Operations Framework for Ocean Mapping
A Research-to-Operations Framework for Ocean Mapping
HydrOffice represents an open-source collaborative effort, led by the NOAA-UNH Joint Hydrographic Center / Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping, to develop a research-to-operations software environment with applications to facilitate all phases of the ping-to-chart process: facilitate data acquisition, automate and enhance data processing, and improve hydrographic products.
The environment, by minimizing the efforts to kick-start and by easing the configuration management, facilitates the creation of new tools for researcher, students and in the field; and, potentially, it eases the industrialization of some of these tools. The overall goal is thus to speed up both algorithms testing and Research-to-Operations (R2O).
