New AI Tool for Sonar Noise Cleanup
focus more time on other important aspects of the survey and processing workflow.This new approach to clean sonar noise is powered by the CARIS Mira AI engine, a new cloud-based platform to host current and future AI solutions. CARIS Mira AI also provides a flexible package capable of scaling with data processing needs. All data directed to the CARIS Mira AI platform is anonymized, randomized and encrypted before transmission. For additional security, no data remains stored on the cloud following the AI classification process.“By leveraging deep learning techniques, Teledyne CARIS is poised to

as an IoT-based sensor, meaning that it is truly plug-and-play, needing only power and an internet connection to provide secure local and remote real-time ocean state data to any device.The sensors can also be complimented with Cloud services from Miros, such as web displays, database integration, data processing and device management services, making weather data available to all stakeholders
Shearwater GeoServices Bags Gambia 3D Gig
The provider of 3D marine seismic data, imaging products, and data processing software solutions, Shearwater Geoservices has been awarded a 3D Isometrix seismic acquisition project by FAR Gambia Ltd (FAR).According to a press release from the 50/50 joint venture between GC Rieber Shipping ASA and Rasmussengruppen AS, The one-month survey will cover parts of block A5 offshore Gambia in the rapidly emerging and prolific Mauritania, Senegal, Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, Conakry (MSGBC) Basin.The offshore survey service provider will be acquired by the SW Amundsen and provide new seismic over a shallow-wate

will include the launch and recovery of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV), underwater gliders, surface and underwater sensors, remotely operated vehicles (ROV), and unmanned surface vehicles (USV). Benthic Cat will also support surface-supplied/SCUBA diving operations and provide onboard data processing.(Photo: Maddie Hunt Photography / Armstrong Marine)The catamaran features a full-width cabin with fly bridge, large aft working deck, hydraulic A-frame (5,000 lb. SWL), Northern Lights 9kw diesel generator, and Garmin/NMEA electronics package. The vessel is well equipped for multi-day operations
ADCPs & DVLs: Recent Tech Developments
of operations and decrease the cost of current measurements they recently introduced the ECO platform. ECO, Nortek’s mini-ADCP for shallow water profiling was announced for sale in late 2019. It features a handheld, wirelessly charged 1MHz ADCP, programmed with a smartphone app. Data processing and quality assurance is provided through an automatic cloud-based service. In addition to these adaptations for the instrument itself Nortek took the development one step further and designed a compact buoy and timed-release system to simplify deployment in shallow waters.ADCPs and DVLs are

data that’s then processed to show where fish are. And the results have been good, says Malik, avoiding issues fishing vessels can have with vessel noise in the water because it’s able to dip the sonar further away from the vessel. The next step is edge analytics – i.e. data processing on the drone so fisherman know faster where fish are.But, Birdview see other opportunities, including dipping a modem to gather data from underwater sensors or even to provide a communications link to remote control ROVs or mobile underwater platforms, so they don’t have to stay within
Polarcus Signs MOU with ARGAS
on seismic projects in the Middle East and NOrth Africa (MENA) region.Polarcus provides global marine seismic acquisition capabilities and cloud-based Priority Processing services. ARGAS provides regional expertise in land, transition zone and shallow water seismic data acquisition and associated data processing. Together, the firms will work to identify opportunities and execute projects in the MENA region.“Leveraging the core strengths and capabilities of both parties will deliver enhanced imaging and a reduced exploration cycle to E&P companies in the region,” said Duncan Eley, Polarcus
