PBG

 

This technology detects and draws bottom structures, clearly revealing terrain, fishing spots, and ridges for easy interpretation.

What is PBG?

 

PBG technology generates real-time bottom images using shaded relief, depth contours, and colors to uncover hidden structures and ridges, assisting in fish identification.

Logo_PBG-01

Furuno's bottom mapping technology allows you to swiftly generate Shaded Relief Maps using NavNet TZtouchXL and the DFF-3D multibeam sounder.

 

These maps feature shaded relief, depth contours, and color variations, simplifying the identification of fish-holding structures.

 

Multiple color palettes are available, including options to display only contour lines for clarity.

Displaying Depth Contour Only

 

PBG color and Shaded Relief help identify depths, but contour lines are useful when shading obscures chart points.

 

PBG SAT COMPASS

Integrating advanced motion sensors for PBG SAT COMPASS


 

For the highest PBG accuracy, a compatible motion sensor with heave correction is recommended.  A Furuno SCX20 or SC33 SATELLITE COMPASS™ is recommended over the DFF3D’s internal built-in transducer motion sensor. The following table content is based on the condition that a SATELLITE COMPASS™ such as SCX-20 and SC-30/33 is used as the source of position, heading, and motion sensor.  Use of a Satellite Compass to improve PBG accuracy requires setting the correct transducer and satellite compass installed position offset values.

Enhanced Underwater Mapping


 

Furuno's PBG technology revolutionizes underwater mapping by providing highly detailed and accurate bathymetric data. This advanced system allows users to generate precise high-resolution maps of the seafloor, which are crucial for various maritime activities such as navigation, fishing, and scientific research. The ability to visualize underwater topography in such detail enhances safety and efficiency, enabling mariners to avoid underwater hazards and optimize routes. Instead of just one depth point per ping like some competitor systems, this technology provides 50 depth points. This level of precision is particularly beneficial for industries that rely on accurate seafloor data, ensuring operations are conducted with the highest level of confidence and reliability.

ENHANCED UNDERWATER MAPPING PBG
USER FRIENDLY PBG

User-Friendly Interface


 

Furuno's PBG technology is designed with a user-friendly interface that simplifies the complex task of bathymetric mapping. The intuitive design ensures that even users with minimal technical expertise can effectively operate the system and interpret the data. This accessibility broadens the technology's applicability, making it a valuable tool for a wide range of users, from professional mariners to recreational boaters. By lowering the barrier to entry, Furuno's PBG technology empowers more individuals and organizations to harness the power of detailed bathymetric data, fostering a deeper understanding of underwater environments and promoting safer maritime activities.

Real-Time Data Processing


 

One of the standout benefits of Furuno's PBG technology is its capability for real-time data processing. This feature allows users to receive immediate feedback and make on-the-fly adjustments during operations. Whether it's for fishing, where understanding the seafloor can lead to more productive catches, or for scientific expeditions that require immediate data analysis, the real-time processing capability ensures that users have the most current information at their fingertips. This immediacy not only enhances decision-making but also reduces the time and resources spent on post-processing, making operations more efficient and cost-effective.
