Welcome to the CoFFee wiki!

Here are some tutorials and help pages to use CoFFee.

Before you read these, some important notes:

• These pages assume that you have successfully installed CoFFee on your machine. For help on downloading and installing CoFFee, see the code's README file.
• The processing of acoustic data in CoFFee is often highly simplified. For example, (to date) it does not account for vessel motion (roll, pitch, heave), it does not re-raybend the soundings, and it does not radiometrically correct the backscatter data. It is also not optimised for speed. In other words, it does not process data to the level of quality and speed of a professional hydrographic software. If you need professional results, you will need professional software. As detailed in the code's LICENSE file, the authors are not liable for any issues arising from using this software.
• CoFFee is under active development so this wiki may lag behind the development of the toolbox itself. See the date and version validity at the bottom of each page, and contact the authors if anything does not work or is inaccurate.
