ENC Bathymetry Plotter

ENC Bathymetry Plotter transforms bathymetric data into chart-ready contour lines and selected soundings, improving accuracy and reducing manual production effort.

For Teams Producing Accurate Bathymetric ENC Data

ENC Bathymetry Plotter is designed for hydrographic offices and chart production teams responsible for creating and maintaining high-quality Electronic Navigational Charts. It supports the processing of bathymetric datasets into chart-ready outputs, enabling teams to generate contours and soundings efficiently while improving consistency across ENC products.

The resulting data can be seamlessly incorporated into final chart products using CARIS chart production tools, supporting a streamlined end-to-end workflow.

Transforming Bathymetric Data Into Chart-Ready Outputs

Generating smooth, accurate contour lines from bathymetric data

ENC Bathymetry Plotter processes point cloud or gridded bathymetry data into a Nautical Elevation Model, enabling the creation of smooth contour lines that do not require further generalisation. This helps improve chart readability and accuracy while reducing manual editing effort.

Creating optimised soundings for clear navigation

The tool enables the selection of soundings at configurable density, allowing users to tailor output to the required chart scale and application. This ensures that only the most relevant depth information is presented, improving clarity for end users.

Supporting Efficient Bathymetry Processing Workflows

Import of gridded bathymetry data (e.g. S-102, BAG) and xyz point cloud datasets
Automated generation of a Nautical Elevation Model for contouring
Adjustable generalisation parameters to match chart scale requirements
Multiple visualisation options, including colour palettes and 3D views
Fast contour generation and sounding selection functions
Detailed processing reports and statistics to support QA workflows

Delivering Clearer, More Accurate Bathymetric ENCs

Reduces manual workload in contour generation and sounding selection
Improves the quality and readability of ENC bathymetry data
Supports the production of high-density and standard ENC products
