QPS – Fledermaus
Fledermaus is an interactive 4D geo-spatial analysis software. With movie-making tools and integrated video playback, it is the gold standard for presentation and communication.
Measured & Proven
Stereo-capable 4D visualization
Functionality integrated to time series data components.
3D fly-throughs
Create and record fly-throughs in 3D space.
Video integration
Synchronized data-integrated video playback in the scene.
Navigation support
Support for navigation peripherals (e.g. bat, mouse, and space navigator).
Time/space notes
Set for movie-making with easy text/image insertion.
Grid functionality
Create, interpolate, mask, crop, and resample grids for the best possible interpretation of the seafloor.
Image draping
Drape imagery (e.g. side scan or backscatter mosaics, charts, class, textures, etc.) atop 3D surfaces.
Object and surface analysis
Show object and surface change over time, and perform slope and surface difference calculations.
