The Canadian-addressed application note describes high-frequency M3 Sonar and Flexview imaging for underwater structures. M3 supports imaging and bathymetry; Flexview is an imaging option for detailed inspection, including portable ROV use. The vendor describes centimetre-level feature detection and unnamed lock-damage and quay-wall examples. These examples support an inspection workflow, with customer identity and independent acceptance unstated.
Imagery supports georeferenced outputs; SoundTiles can also mosaic unpositioned imagery, which does not by itself establish georeferencing
Survey/bathymetric configurations use positioning and motion-reference sensors; small-boat and USV configurations are illustrated
