Portable Echo Detector - MX-Global supplier

8th Floor, Building 2, East China Normal University Science and Technology Park, 1038 Jinshajiang Road, Shanghai, China

Focusing on the investigation, assessment, and mapping of aquatic habitats
MX provides acoustic survey solutions for clients in the fields of global aquatic habitat surveys and aquatic ecology research. It adopts an integrated design, which is lighter and more portable than ordinary echo detectors. It integrates multiple functions and has a built-in differential GPS sensor, which can simultaneously meet the three functions of submerged vegetation investigation, sediment classification, and water depth measurement. The BioSonics Visual Habitat data processing software can help users download maps with just one click. Through analysis, the results of the survey area's trajectory, water depth, submerged vegetation, and sediment type can be clearly marked on the map, and distribution maps can be generated through interpolation. Meanwhile, the exported data can be imported into software such as ArcGIS for advanced mapping.

BioSonics Visual Habitatdata analysis software
BioSonics Visual Habitat is a complete set of analytical tools, including: l Submerged Vegetation (SAV) - Spatial Distribution, Crown Height, Percentage Coverage l Depth measurement - drawing high-precision maps and depth maps l Classification of Water Body Sediments - Describing the Distribution of Different Types of Sediments such as Rocks, Sand, and Soft Mud l Quickly call and download maps from map servers such as Google, Bing, Open Street, etc l Output file format as CSV (Data Table) or KML (Graph) l Quickly generate a distribution map of the target object, displaying the trajectory cross-section as well as the distribution of water depth, sediment type, and submerged vegetation

A color echo map of a survey section, displaying information such as water depth, plant distribution, and underwater terrain.

Track map, drawn based on the coordinate position measured by the built-in DGPS sensor, can load the user's own map or easily download third-party maps with one click, such as Google, Bing, Open Street, etc.

Water depth mapping, which can plot the water depth of the survey section on a map. Different colors represent different water depths, and users can define their preferred colors to represent water depths.

Submerged vegetation mapping can plot the plant height and coverage distribution of the survey section on a map. User defined colors and gradients to represent plant height and coverage. The middle part of all sections in the left image is white, representing no vegetation distribution.

BioSonics Visual Habitat software can use trilinear interpolation, inverse distance weighted interpolation, and ordinary Kriging interpolation to generate two-dimensional distribution maps, and can automatically calculate gridded statistical results such as area, water volume, maximum/minimum/average water depth, etc.

MXEcho detector combined with remote-controlled unmanned ship
The Z-Boat 1800MX water survey system was jointly developed by OCEANSCIENCE and BioSonics. It uses OCEANSCIENCE's wireless remote-controlled tugboat as the mobile platform and data transmission platform, BioSonics' MX echo detector as the data acquisition subject, and a 200KHz ultrasonic echo detector to collect acoustic signals of the water body, forming color echo maps for water terrain measurement, sediment classification survey, water depth measurement, and submerged plant survey. Z-Boat1800 is an ultra small survey vessel that is easy to carry and can be remotely controlled wirelessly. Especially suitable for use in remote areas where boats cannot be rented and in shallow waters where boats cannot be sailed.
