Innomar Compact Parametric Sub-Bottom Profiler
Innomar Compact-USV Parametric Sub-Bottom Profiler
Innomar Compact was designed for inshore surveys in shallow water down to 400 metres water depth, but can also be used in coastal areas. Small boats, inshore and near-shore surveys are ideal applications for this system. Because of its small size and weight, this system is convenient even on small boats. Controlled via Ethernet using any Windows-based PC or laptop, it is a user-friendly and affordable design, too.
Innomar Compact model acquires full-waveform data that can be processed with any seismic software (SEG-Y format). Innomar also provides the ISE post-processing software specialized on the Innomar SBP data.
