About region-ping intersections

A Region-ping intersection, RP, is that part of a 3D region R which intersects with a ping, P (in both space and time). The diagrams below show a 3D region and multibeam ping (in a scene), the original ping (in a multibeam echogram), and the resulting region-ping intersection (both with data and zoomed without for clarity). The region-ping intersection is visible on a multibeam echogram as a black border enclosing an area crosshatched in the color of an analysis region. The cross hatching is twice as dense if the region is selected.
