# Processing Parameters

Add a set of **Processing Parameters.** 

The first parameter to select is Target Extraction method. Online Waveform Processing uses the points detected by the device, during data acquisition. This is the simplest target extraction method:

Users may opt to conduct Exponential Decomposition processing. This processing entails creating a polygon encompassing areas in the data set with water. This type of target extraction is optional and covered in the [next section](/3rd-party-software-documentation/bathymetric-lidar-processing-in-riprocess/creating-a-project-in-riprocess/processing-parameters/exponential-decomposition.md).&#x20;

Set the **Multiple Time Around** setting to **Fixed in Zone 1**:

No settings are necessary for **Pre-classification**:

No **Pre-georeferencing** is necessary:

No **Post-georeferencing** data filters are necessary:

The **Water surface selector** should be disabled, unless[ XDC processing](/3rd-party-software-documentation/bathymetric-lidar-processing-in-riprocess/creating-a-project-in-riprocess/processing-parameters/exponential-decomposition.md) is enabled:

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.phoenixlidar.com/3rd-party-software-documentation/bathymetric-lidar-processing-in-riprocess/creating-a-project-in-riprocess/processing-parameters.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
