This program will import a Qmips sonar of sub-bottom profiler image into the USGS MIPS image format.
Files
This program requires as input one unsigned 8-bit image file and will produce one unsigned 8-bit image file. History information is transfered from the input file to the output file.
Qmips header
SBYTE
This parameter is used to select the starting byte of the Qmips header in the image file. The default starting byte is 1.
Importing the file
SCHAN and NCHAN
These parameters are used to select the starting channel and number of channels to extract. The default for SCHAN is 1 and for NCHAN is 2.
SWAP, LEFT and RIGHT
These parameters are used to select how the image should be imported. The SWAP parameter allows the image data being imported to be byte swapped. The LEFT and RIGHT parameters allow the left and right sides of the image to be flipped. As a default, none of these options are set.
