Channel-aware processing
Preserve channel roles for pressure and directional components.
Directional acoustic processing
Process DIFAR data from channels to mapped bearings.
Analyse directional sensor recordings, preserve the channel geometry, calculate bearing information, inspect the supporting signal and relate detections to positions on the project chart.
Directional workflow
Keep the bearing connected to the signal.
DIFAR interpretation requires more than a bearing number. Analyze keeps the directional result beside the channel configuration, time region, frequency content, project location and exported evidence used to produce it.
- Load the directional multichannel WAV recording.
- Assign and verify the pressure and orthogonal directional channels.
- Select the signal or event region to process.
- Review bearing, frequency and confidence-related evidence.
- Display the result against GPS tracks or fixed project positions.
- Export tables and views beneath the project.
Simulation and validation
The DIFAR simulator produces known directional scenarios that can be processed through the same workflow. This provides a repeatable way to evaluate channel mapping and compare estimated bearings against the simulated truth.
Designed for review
Evidence at every stage.
Signal inspection
Use waveform, FFT and spectrogram evidence around each event.
Bearing results
Review directional output alongside frequency and event timing.
GPS chart overlay
Relate rays and detections to tracks, fixed sensors and geography.
Time animation
Review sparse or changing directional events in chronological context.
Validation scenarios
Generate controlled DIFAR data and compare processed results with truth.
DIFAR questions
What teams usually need to confirm.
Can Analyze process directional multichannel WAV data?
Yes. Directional channel roles can be assigned and retained while the recording is inspected and processed.
Can bearing results be displayed over GPS data?
Yes. The Chart workspace can combine directional results with imported vessel tracks and fixed project positions.
Does the software include a way to test the DIFAR workflow?
Yes. Controlled simulator data can be generated and used to compare known and processed bearings.
