Interesting Switchfire 2D Images

This might help. The pink line is the end of the water since the bluff extends out of the water from the pink line it cant scan. From the Pink Line to the Green Line is the underwater portion of the bluff and at the top I drove over a point on the bluff wall so it showed up on the left side. I labelled two points I see on the bluff and a depression that I call a ditch.



Here is an example of a Bluff out of water and you could see similar structure under the water.



Hope this helps.

Doug, excellent stuff.. however, my pee brain is having a hard time with this.. Maybe it's just best if I didn't get the SI/DI stuff and just stick to the basic sonar, GPS versions... but if you got some time to work me through this it would be appreciated...

The top shot is SI, correct? if so, is what the point actually broken up by a ridge under the water? This ridge (wall) doesn't protrude out of the water does it? What is the space left of the wall to the center column? What's the area that is the lighter grey to the left of the green line on the right side of the shot? also, what is the lighter area the follows the base of the area on the left side of the shot? Do any of the trees or branches that are in the camera shot show on the right side of the SI shot? Probably enough...

Surely appreciated!

Let me get my "Teacher" cap out and I'll get you understanding in no time. I need a little more time to explain it correctly and I will get you understanding...

AWesome, can't wait.....

I thought it might be easier with words than typing and created a video clip:


See if this helps understand what you are seeing with SI.

IM'ing ya as I'm watching the video.. Already within the fist 3 minutes I'm understanding more then before.. I've got a slow connection so it will be awhile to finish but I wanted to express my gratitude for taking the time to develope this.. I am wanting an HB sooo bad..

Cheers

Excellent work on the video Doug....

For anyone that doesn't fully understand what you are seeing on side imaging, this is the best video I've seen

You should sticky this for begionners!

It's in the Video Sticky Thread on the other HB Sonar Forum here.

Doug, this is a great demonstration of SI and DI. I especially like the way you told of how you can better interface all of the different options, i.e. DI, SI and 2D. Thanks,

Ron

Nitro 750 your not the lone ranger here! Doug, thanks so much doug for taking the time to do the u-tube thing. It cleared up so much and its the best SI teaching aid I've seen on the web. HB should CD it and include it with all units packaged for sale. You of course deserve the royalties!
