QPS Fledermaus 8.7.2 is an advanced 4D geospatial analysis and visualization software designed for processing and interpreting large datasets, particularly for marine and terrestrial mapping projects. It supports a wide range of data types for direct import, enabling analysis in 3D and 4D (time-inclusive) environments. Key features include:
- 3D/4D Visualization: Interactive tools for creating 3D fly-throughs, synchronized video playback, and time/space notes for presentations and movie-making.
- Data Processing: Supports multibeam backscatter, water-column data, LiDAR, and ungridded/gridded data with tools like FM Geocoder Toolbox for seafloor characterization and FM Midwater for water-column analysis.
- Integration: Seamless two-way link with ESRI ArcGIS for geospatial data workflows, plus support for WMS imagery and EOMAP satellite-derived bathymetry.
- Engineering Tools: Pipeline route planning, slope analysis, surface difference calculations, and multilayer grid support for detailed surveys.
- Applications: Used in hydrographic surveys, offshore construction, habitat mapping, and coastal zone management.
