CARIS HOM AML 2.0
Released November 2004
Highlights:• Support for v1.0 and v2.0 of AML product
specifications• Tool to convert AML v1.0 data to v2.0• New advanced topology checks to improve
verification of cell geometry• Enhanced Object Import Utility that supports line and
area features• New object dictionary builder
CARIS HOM AML 2.0AML v1.0 and v2.0 support
Import, edit, create and update/maintain v1.0 and v2.0
AML data• Select and switch between AML product profiles at
any time• All operations including QC/QA and product creation
will be based on the active product profile
Set the AML productworking environment
CARIS HOM AML 2.0Intelligent AML v1.0 to v2.0 converter
Tool to easily convert AML v1.0 data to v2.0• Conversion rules are stored in an editable lookup
table in XML format• Tool can be run on one or more data sets (batch
mode)• All actions performed (e.g. replace object) are written
to a log file for review
CARIS HOM AML 2.0New cell geometry checks
Checks added to find:• Self crossing lines• Intersecting lines• Duplicate lines• Lines with overlappping segments• Lines shorter than a specified length• Sliver polygons
CARIS HOM AML 2.0 Enhanced Object Import Utility
Object Import Utility now supports import of point, line
and area features from text files or any OBDC compliant
data source (e.g. MS Access, Oracle)
CARIS HOM AML 2.0 New object dictionary builder
New object dictionary builder provides a way to easily
define additional AML objects and attributes
CARIS BASE Editor
New application for storing and managing survey dataOffers improved generation of selected soundings, 3-D surfaces and contours and depth areasHighlights:• Supports industry standard data formats (XYZ, GSF..) • Ability to generate depth areas automatically• DEPARE objects auto-populated with DRVAL1 &
DRVAL2• Export soundings, contours and depth areas to S-57• Publication Designer for plot layouts and printing• 3D fly-through project window
Means faster and more efficient creation of CLB AML’s!
Other CARIS developments relevant to AML
GML support libraries have been created in preparationfor reading and writing GML• This functionality has yet to be implemented in any
products• Capability to write to ‘basic’ GML is a priority• Issue remains in dealing with different flavors (custom
profiles) of GML; a ‘basic’ or generic GML reader may not be able to handle this data
Ongoing work with GRIB and NetCDF format data• E.g. CARIS MetOcean project (real time display of
meteorological and related information) can receive meteorological data in GRIB format
