Tritech StarFish 990F Sidescan Sonar GPS extraction tool

This is a Shiny web app. It is written on R programming languaje using the Shiny library to develop the General User Interface. With this tool you can import Tritech StarFish 990F Sidescan Sonar CSV raw files from ScanLine software and extract the navigation as:

  • Text datatables (.csv)
  • ESRI Shapefiles (.shp)
  • KML file format (.kml)

The aim of this software is "fast extract" of the navigation data to visualize it on a GIS software like QGIS or in a web map in the "Maps" tab.

You can run a demo here, but I suggest run it locally using R because the csv raw files are generally big files (hundreds of megabytes) to upload over internet.
