Fledermaus Bundles – the complete solutions for ocean mapping processing, quality control, analysis and interpretation.
Fledermaus is the industry leading interactive 3D geo-spatial processing and analysis tool. With the release of Version 7.0 we have moved this to the next dimension: the addition of a fully integrated time reference allowing users to work in a true 4D space and time environment.
Commercial, academic and government clients use the Fledermaus software worldwide. They use the software to interact with massive geographical datasets of numerous data types for ocean mapping and land-based projects. The intuitive 4D display and interaction allows clients to rapidly gain insight and extract more information from their underlying data. This provides our clients with added value in data processing efficiency, quality control accuracy, data analysis completeness, and project integration, that promotes clear communication.
A wide variety of industry standard formats are supported for direct import of data to the 3D scene, and Fledermaus also allows data from remotely operated vehicles, ships or other entities, to be visualized in real-time.
The extensive functionality of Fledermaus allows its use across many phases of a project from the planning, processing and QC, through to analysis and production of images, plots and animations.
The Fledermaus suite of software comes in a number of bundles and has been packaged to meet the requirements and workflows of our clients, (see the FM Bundles Comparison Chart for more information)
FM Viz4D - Fledermaus 4D—Working in Space and Time
- Intuitive high-resolution visualizations of data for analysis and interpretation, from multiple data formats and sources.
- Time framework, full geo-spatial referencing, simplified surface creation, and integrated suite of quantitative tools.
- Used by researchers, educators, content developers, outreach professionals, cartographers, illustrators, and marketing personnel.
FM Hydro – Beyond Charting – the Modern Hydrographic Workflow
- Premier tool for fast efficient geo-spatial processing, quality control, and validation of hydrographic survey data.
- Most flexible CUBE1 implementation available for rapid surface and sounding processing and verification.
- Used by surveyors/data processors in the field, charge surveyors/data QC personnel ashore, and charting authorities verifying data for databases and charting.
FM Habitat - The Integrated Marine Habitat Toolbox
- Only software package to combine 4D visualization with cutting-edge backscatter processing (FMGeocoder2) and bathymetric analysis for seabed characterization and a direct connection to ArcGIS3 software.
- Generate and export the results of seabed interpretation and associated information in a variety of common industry formats.
- Used by geoscientists and technicians characterizing the seafloor, and interdisciplinary habitat mapping teams of biologists, geologists, and managers requiring a collaborative working environment, efficient classification tool, and presentation software.
FM Offshore - Modern and Dynamic Tools for the Offshore Project
- Tools for the planning, monitoring and review of seabed engineering and construction projects.
- Enhance site investigations, identify geohazards, manipulate and analyze proposed route design information in an intuitive virtual environment.
- Used by project surveyors planning projects, data processors, project engineers, site investigation teams, offshore surveyors and ROV supervisors.
FM Pro – The Ultimate Bundle
- The complete Fledermaus software suite.
- Provides those companies and organizations that work across all areas of ocean mapping every tool that might be required, and combines all the functionality from the individual FM bundles.
FMGeocoder – Cutting-edge Backscatter Processing
- Creates corrected backscatter mosaic and semi-automated seafloor characterization.
- Integrated bathymetry and backscatter data interpretation and analysis in Fledermaus.
- Used by geoscientists and technicians characterizing the seafloor.
Coming Soon in Fledermaus 7.2 FMMidwater – Get the Complete Picture
- Intuitive and rapid extraction of features from huge water column files from multibeam and single beam sonar data files.
- Easy analysis in Fledermaus with multiple visualization metaphors – temporal beamline, fan, points, and volume objects.
- Used by surveyors for obstruction detection, scientist in fisheries research, and earth scientists and oceanographers investigating oil and hydrate seeps.
Coming Soon in Fledermaus 7.2 FMGIS - Seamless Workflow with integration to ArcGIS Software
- Create a direct two-way link from the Fledermaus module to a ArcGIS2 file, folder, personal, or ArcSDE Geodatabase; no need to import/export files.
- Benefits users of both softwares: Fledermaus users gain access to the ArcGIS Geodatabase and suite of GIS tools, while ArcGIS users gain easy access to the robust suite of IVS 3D bathymetric data processing and validation applications.

IVS3D products are available across all platforms including Windows, Linux, Mac OS X workstations (see our Platforms Overview page). You do not need to buy the software for a specific machine configuration.
Notes:
(1) The CUBE algorithm was developed by Dr. Brian Calder at the Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping/Joint Hydrographic Center at the University of New Hampshire.
(2) The FM Geocoder product originates from research by Luciano Fonseca at the Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping/Joint Hydrographic Center at the University of New Hampshire.
(3) Integration with ArcGIS software requires an ArcGIS license, and is only available for Windows 32-bit systems. Trademark provided under license from ESRI.
