Feature Presentation

View chart objects in S-52 and INT1 presentations.

GEOREF tiles

Tools to automatically cut the working dataset into tiles consistent with the GEOREF tiling standard.

VPF AML Data Model

Consistent with the VPF data model, NATO AML and NGA TOD specifications.

Supports all current NATO AML products (CLB, LBO, ESB, MFF, RAL, and SBO).

Support for AML VPF version 2.0 when it becomes available via software update.

Support built in for unclassifed NGA TOD products (TOD0), with tools to easily implement other products.

Coordinate Transformation

Easily transform your data to the correct VPF coordinate framework.

Extract, merge and/or transform any part of a dataset in DOM AML.

Data Import

Import existing digital data into DOM AML from many different vector formats, including: S-57, VPF, SHP, DGN, E00, ODBC databases, text files, etc.

Easy conversion of NATO S-57 AMLs to VPFs.

Import and update one or many tiles/coverages directly.

Data Integration

Facilitates data integration with existing digital field survey data, as well as with other CARIS software products, e.g. CARIS HIPS and SIPS, Notebook, etc.

Derived Products

Derive other products from the same working dataset used in DOM AML to create electronic charts, including for example digital nautical paper charts, e.g. BSB raster nautical charts, etc.

Digitizing Tools

Tools to digitize any type of new chart feature.

Display Options

Wide range of filter options available to control the display of features.

Apply polygon transparency levels while editing, updating or validating data.

Dissolve VPF tile boundaries on import

When importing multiple VPF tiles into a single CARIS file, the Dissolve Tile Boundaries option creates a seamless CARIS data file from multiple tiles.

Editing Tools

Full set of geometry and attribute editing tools.

Easy to use polygon topology creation, checking and error location tools.

Utilities menu allows users to run any CARIS GIS tools program in DOM AML.

Help

Full suite of help information, reference guides, and interactive VPF object and attribute catalogue.

View Raster Data

Load raster display as background information, allowing new data capture and validation; includes support for raster charts in BSB and HCRF format, and georeferenced images in GeoTIFF, TIF/TFW, IPV etc. formats.

VPF Database Creation

User-friendly wizards to generate new VPF databases and update existing VPF libraries and databases.

VPF Object and Data Creation

Auto-create chart feature objects and attributes from any selected data.

Extensive Validation Tools

Tools to check and clean VPF data without loading into DOM AML.

Object and attribute value verification and notification tools.

Wide range of advanced validation tools to check objects according to VPF validation rules.

Quality Control

Built in quality control measures to ensure completeness and compliance of the data during production.

Tools to detect errors in spatial data, e.g. intersecting lines, duplications, colinear lines, etc.

Enhanced VPF support

DOM AML is enhanced to work with more precise VPF coordinates than required for most standard VPF products. The coordinate precision can range from the standard 7 units of precision (e.g. 0.000003) up to 15 units of precision (e.g. 0.000000000000001).

Object Dictionary

Tailor object dictionary to create user defined product specifications such as new NGA TOD specifications as they become available.

Quality Assurance Checks

Modify the quality control checks used to validate DNC data in DOM AML by adding organization- specific object and attribute checks.

Utilities Menu

Use a simple text-based procedure to create new menu entries to run batch processes.

VPF table header editors

The Table Header tool allows for the creation of a new VPF table and/or editing of an existing VPF table header.
