Mapper 3D - User Manual

Product catalog summary
General Information
The Mapper 3D program is part of the SUBvysor software package, designed for mapping Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) data and detected underground objects. It includes the GPR Logger for managing the sounding process and data processing.

Computer Requirements
The software requires a Windows-operated computer with at least an Intel Pentium M CPU, 512 MB memory, USB2.0 port, and 100MB free hard drive space.

Terms and Definitions
Key terms include Trace, GPR Profile, Etalon Profile, and Project, each with specific definitions related to GPR data mapping.

Program Description
The Mapper 3D program features a Multiple Document Interface (MDI) for managing multiple projects. Main components include the Objects Tree, Project Plan, and Displayed GPR Profiles.

Getting Started
Installation is part of the SUBvysor package. Before starting, ensure the area is clear of large objects and plan the sounding process.

Creating a Project
Projects are created using the 'Create Project' option, initially with one site and a default base line.

Adding a Plan/Map
A plan or map can be added as a background for the project.
Introduction
This document provides a guide on using the NOVATEST - SUBvysor / Mapper 3D software for GPR data analysis, including adding background images, calibrating scales, creating profiles, and utilizing 3D views.

Adding and Calibrating Background Images
Users can add images in formats like .jpg or .bmp as backgrounds and calibrate them by setting scale markers.

Creating and Managing Profiles
Profiles are created using the GPR Logger program. Users can add, delete, or modify profiles within the Mapper 3D program.

Markers of Underground Objects
Markers can be added to profiles to indicate underground objects, with instructions on adding, modifying, and deleting them.

Data Transfer
Project files are saved with a .mpsgpr extension. Users must copy the entire project for data transfer.

3D View and Interpolation
The program allows for creating 3D views and performing data interpolation. Guidance is provided on setting interpolation parameters.

Conclusion
This document serves as a manual for using the NOVATEST - SUBvysor / Mapper 3D software for GPR data handling and visualization.
Interpolation Process
The document describes setting up and executing interpolation, highlighting differences in radius for X, Y, and Z axes.

Cross-Sections
After interpolation, users can perform cross-sections using sliders or keyboard shortcuts.

3D View Management
The software allows saving, opening, and deleting 3D views.

Report Creation
Reports can be created from plan or 3D view areas, including various graphical objects.

Data Export to AutoCAD
Project data can be exported to AutoCAD in DXF format, with instructions on selecting objects and inputting coordinates.

Mapper 3D - User Manual-6

NOVATEST - SUBvysor / Mapper 3D This User Manual uses the following terms and definitions. GPR profile (or profile) - is a two-dimensional image in the coordinates of depth (vertical) and traveled distance (horizontal). Profile consists of a set of traces. Amplitude of the traces of the profile is displayed by color. The amplitude-color dependence is determined by color palette. For example, in the case of palette by default (gray- scale), minimum value corresponds to black, maximum to white, and zero level to gray color. The profiles are represented by vectors (a line with an arrow) on a map....

NOVATEST - SUBvysor / Mapper 3D 7 Site - a complex of data, including: base line, profiles (vectors) and markers. One site may content unlimited quantity of profiles and only one base line. Object tree - a tree-structured list of all objects of a project: sites and markers. Etalon profile - a selected (etalon) GPR profile of each site. In Object tree the etalon profile is marked by check mark ■* S/ . Mapper 3D program can display profiles that were acquired by different GPR...

You can select the color for the by clicking on Color button Base Line. » When you add profiles to the site, this parameter will be defined by the wave speed of the etalon profile. Therefore, the wave speed of the site and of all profiles will be equal to the wave speed of etalon profile. If you change the wave speed of the site, the wave speeds of all the site's profiles will be changed equally. » All numerical parameters in the program you can enter in two ways: by inputting numbers from a keyboard or with arrows...
