heaveCombo

Description

heaveCombo is a specialized command-line utility designed to combine heave data from two near-synchronous OMG-HDCS (Ocean Mapping Group - Hydrographic Data Cleaning System) attitude streams. It primarily aims to merge one stream with “delayed heave” and another with “real-time heave,” bringing over Roll, Pitch, Heading (RPGH) from a reference file and interpolating heave from another. The output is a new attitude file that consolidates the best available data from both sources.

Usage

heaveCombo [OPTIONS] -ref <ref_att_file> -other <other_att_file> -out <output_att_file>

Arguments

Option Description Default / Example
-v Enable verbose output.  
-ref <ref_att_file> Required. Specifies the reference attitude file. RPGH (Roll, Pitch, Heading) data will primarily be taken from this file. seapath_realtime.orientation
-other <other_att_file> Required. Specifies the “other” attitude file, typically containing delayed or interpolated heave data to be blended with the reference. delayed_heave.orientation
-out <output_att_file> Required. Specifies the name of the output .orientation file where the combined attitude data will be written. combined_heave.orientation
