Macros are programs or shellscripts which make use of programs from the
MB-System and other software packages to accomplish common tasks
easily.
These are the current MB-System macros:
mbm_arc2grd: Convert an ArcView
ASCII grid
file to a GMT grid file.
mbm_copy: Translate groups of swath
data files between formats
mbm_grd2geovrml: Create and
execute commands which generate a TerraVision tileset and GeoVRML set
of files that can be combined with other data and viewed in a web
browser.
mbm_grdplot: Reads a GMT GRD
grid
file and
writes a shellscript which will generate a GMT map of the data.
mbm_grdtiff: Reads a GMT GRD
grid
file and
writes a shellscript which will generate a TIFF image of the data.
mbm_grd3dplot: Reads a GMT GRD
grid file
and writes a shellscript which will generate a GMT 3D perspective view
of the data.
mbm_grd2arc: Convert a GMT grid
file
to
an ArcView ASCII grid file.
mbm_histplot: Create an executable
shellscript which will generate a GMT histogram plot of a dataset.
mbm_grid: Reads a swath sonar data
file and writes a shellscript which will grid bathymetry data or mosaic
sidescan (or amplitude) data using reasonable guesses at the appropriate
grid bounds and bin size.
mbm_makedatalist: Generates
an MB-System datalist file referencing all identifiable swath files in
the specified target directory.
mbm_plot: Reads a swath sonar data
file
and
writes a shellscript which will generate a swath and/or contour plot of
the data.
mbm_route2mission:
Translate an mbgrdviz survey route file into an MBARI AUV mission
script.
mbm_stat: Runs mbinfo on a swath
sonar
data
file and extracts beam statistics from the output of mbinfo.
mbm_utm: Performs forward and
inverse
UTM projections
of ASCII data triples.
mbm_xbt: Processes a Sparton XBT
data
file and
outputs a sound velocity profile file which can be used to process
swath
sonar data.
mbm_xyplot: Reads one or more xy
data
files
and writes a shellscript which will generate GMT plot of the data.
A number of obsolete MB-System programs and macros are distributed
with current releases to allow backward compatibility with the
previous serial processing scheme of the version 4 releases. These obsolete but functional
programs and macros are:
hsdump: Lists contents of the various
sorts of data records in Hydrosweep DS data.
mbbackangleold: Old tool that
generates a table of the average
amplitude or sidescan values as a function of the grazing angle with
the
seafloor.
mbbath: Recalculates or corrects
swath
bathymetry.
mbcleanold: Old tool that
identifies
and
flags bad beams in swath sonar bathymetry data.
mbcut: Removes data from portions of
swath as specified by the user.
mbeditold:
Old interactive editor used to
flag bad beams in swath sonar bathymetry data.
mbfilter: Apply some simple filter
functions
to sidescan, beam amplitude, or bathymetry data.
mbgetmask: Extract list of flagged
or
edited
beams from a swath sonar data file.
mbmask: Apply editing information
obtained from
one file with mbgetmask to another file.
mbmerge: Merge swath sonar data with
new
navigation.
mbm_fmtvel: Scans a Hydrosweep DS
data file and outputs a formatted table of the mean water velocity and surface
water velocity values used in processing that data.
mbm_dslnavfix: Reads a WHOI
DSL AMS-120 processed navigation file containing UTM northings and eastings and
outputs a navigation file containing longitude and latitude which is suitable
for use with mbmerge.
mbm_rollerror: Reads a swath
sonar data file, calculates the noise in the vertical reference used by the sonar,
and generates a file containing roll corrections which can be applied
to the data.
mbm_vrefcheck: Generates a
plot of high pass filtered apparent crosstrack seafloor slope.
mbnaveditold: Old interactive
editor used
to fix problems with navigation in swath sonar data files.

bias of
a swath
sonar system using two pieces of coincident bathymetry data collected
with
opposing ship headings.
mbsimradmakess: Regenerate
sidescan imagery
from the raw amplitude samples contained in data from Simrad EM300 and
EM3000 sonars.
mbsmooth: Smooth swath bathymetry
using
a spatial
domain Gaussian filter.
mbtide: Corrects swath sonar
bathymetry
for tide
data.
mbunclean: Unflags edited beams in
swath sonar
bathymetry data.
