MTR100: Underwater Cameras, Lights and Ocean Landers
on the seafloor, rotating up to 720°, to capture an entire panorama of its landing site. This was dramatically shown during James Cameron’s DEEPSEA CHALLENGE Expedition with DOV MIKE in the Sirena Deep of the Mariana Trench in 2012.ExperimentationLandereans can inexpensively explore camera systems by building their own. The path to discovery and understanding can begin with a simple system based on a board camera or POV (Point-of-view)/Action camera, such as a GoPro. Keep It Simple, Sailor (KISS). Start with the camera, add the recorder, add the lights, add the intervalometer add the housing
Oi Americas to Host Product Launches and New Technologies
;Ocean Observation•Remote Asset Integrity & Monitoring•Offshore Wind•Ocean Data Analytics•Site CharacterizationExhibit show floorThe list of product launches for new technologies due for release at OiA is expanding by the week with game changing mini ROVs and underwater camera systems garnering interest already on the event website.For example, OiA exhibitor Teledyne Marine has several new products it is holding back for launch at the three-day event. Helle Auken Lygum, Teledyne’s Imaging Marcomms Manager says: “Teledyne Marine looks forward to reconnecting in

meteorological and oceanographic modeling products and low-cost, rapidly deployable monitoring solutions.Marinesitu, Washington, is working on modular instrumentation and automated data processing for marine energy monitoring. This project involves developing and demonstrating modular optical camera systems, imaging sonar software, an instrument integration hub, and an automated, cloud-based data management system to create lower-cost instrumentation and user-friendly environmental monitoring tools. These tools are based on the University of Washington’s Adaptable Monitoring Package, which

compromising the integrity of the sample. The transparent cast acrylic core tubes are removed individually and can be subsampled immediately or treated/preserved for later study.The Multiple Corers can be configured to accommodate varying numbers of core tubes and equipped with pressure activated camera systems to display seabed conditions, and delivery times for the corers and spares are kept low by OSIL, meaning even last-minute cruises are well supported, with systems remaining in constant use for many years

Up to 8K / 50MP camera systems are be supported in the ARV-i tethered solutionBoxfish's ARV-i prototype successfully completed trials in May 2021. Sea trials are now underway, with official market release scheduled for October 2021
The Forecast for Weather-Spotting Technology
. Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico coasts. The TWL&CC Forecast Viewer is a web-based platform driven by simulations of tides, storm surge and offshore wave conditions and is used by the National Weather Service and many local emergency planners. “The TWL&CC Forecast Viewer is validated using camera systems that track coastal flooding, along with wave buoys and pressure sensors that measure wave and water level conditions offshore,” Buckley said. Additionally, Sofar Ocean’s Smart Mooring links a directional wave buoy and its communications system with a pressure sensor mounted on the

and high-resolution imagery and bathymetry data collection. The vehicles will also be fitted with Teledyne RESON T50-S Multi-Beam dual frequency 200/400 kHz Echo Sounders, Teledyne Benthos Chirp III Sub Bottom Profilers, iXblue PHINS 6000 INSs coupled to Teledyne RDI Tasman DVLs, and CathX Hunter Camera Systems. All data collected will be processed onboard using Teledyne CARIS OnBoard postprocessing and mosaicking software to allow quick turnaround during missions. The AUVs are also fitted with a large variety of scientific sensors from RBR which will take Conductivity, Temperature, Pressure, Turbidity
Seiche and Deep Vision to Develop Real-time Marine Mammal Tracking System
.Mark Burnett, CEO of Seiche Ltd, said, “We are excited to be working with Deep Vision and their cutting-edge technologies, particularly their software capabilities that can rapidly assess changes in the environment and automatically tune detection algorithms to optimize performance. Our Seiche camera systems are currently providing environmental monitoring to clients around the world and this is an important next step in the provision of this technology to further protect marine life.”Alan Parslow, CEO, Deep Vision, added, “We are thrilled to be working with Seiche, one of the most respected
