Sonardyne, Echoview Software Collaborate to Enhance ADCPs
organisms, fish shoals and physical processes such as internal waves and sediment plumes. When combined with the ADCP's water velocity measurements, users gain unprecedented insight into the complete marine environment from a single instrument.Echoview is an advanced echosounder and sonar data processing software, offering capabilities that range from easy data visualization to sophisticated target detection and analysis. Echoview Software and Sonardyne have worked closely together to ensure that Origin ADCP users can begin processing their echosounder data with Echoview from day one.The Origin
2025 Janus Review: USV Industry Trends
, real-time data integration, and sophisticated AI algorithms - still developing and largely unproven in maritime environments.Reliable marine computer vision systems require specialized datasets and algorithms tailored to challenging sea conditions, still under active development.Real-time sonar data processing and reliable AI classification of underwater obstacles remain significant technological hurdles, demanding continued research and testing.Intelligent self-diagnostics paired with adaptive mission-planning capabilities would revolutionize USV autonomy. Integrating real-time diagnostics with autonomous
Cathx Ocean Unveils New INKA Camera
Ocean is set to solve this problem with the launch of INKA Iris at UDT 2025.INKA is Cathx Ocean’s onboard hardware processing platform, designed to bring real-time AI-driven decision-making to subsea vehicles. Iris is the first camera built on the INKA platform, delivering imaging and onboard data processing in a compact, power-efficient package. Built on customer feedback and real-world testing, INKA Iris, combined with the Clarity Autonomous Perception Platform, enables subsea vehicles to run AI models directly on the sensor, significantly enhancing real-time data analysis.Unlike traditional systems
Smarter Than Us
designed to independently perform offshore wind inspections, only reporting back at the end of the mission.The potential of quantum computing will be considered in an upcoming issue of Marine Technology Reporter magazine. Quantum computing is expected to dwarf the current potential that AI holds for data processing and interpretation. Where a supercomputer might take a year to crunch a load of data, it could take just a few hours with a quantum computer.The potential this power has for further advancing AI is only just being explored
Echoview 15 for Hydroacoustic Data Analysis
Echoview Software launched Echoview 15, an update of its flagship data processing software designed for water column research.Echoview is designed to convert raw measurements from a wide range of echosounders and sonars into meaningful metrics. “This release provides users with powerful new tools which continue to advance the study and understanding of underwater ecosystems,” said Brett Merritt, CEO of Echoview Software.“Echoview 15 brings exciting new features that further simplify complex workflows and support advanced research applications," added Briony Hutton, Chief Scientist
BOEM Initiates Cetacean Acoustic Monitoring Program
annual contributions to POWERON to have their long-term PAM requirements fulfilled by an approved third party.Conducting monitoring through POWERON has multiple benefits, including:Data consistency – Research will use similar instrument types, consistent calibration, and standard methods for data processing, which will lead to more robust results.Conserving/optimizing resources – POWERON can pool resources among partners, such as refurbishing instruments on neighboring lease areas on the same expedition to save on the costs of vessel time.Comprehensive data sets – Data collected from
Teledyne Unveils 16K, 1-Megahertz TDI Line Scan Camera
frame grabbers, utilizing CLHS technology. Built on reliable, field-proven high-speed data transmission technology, Teledyne DALSA says it delivers data at 16 Gigapixels per second over dual CLHS CX4 connectors to active optical cables. Its data forwarding capability supports parallel data processing in up to 12 PCs
Ocean Geophysics Sets Up New UXO Clearance Service for Dutch Offshore Wind
UXO detection and clearance work, and many of the license holders do not prioritize offshore work. We aim to help debottleneck offshore UXO survey work on behalf of developers and operators of offshore wind farms,” says Alison Wells, CEO of Ocean Geophysics.The company offers a comprehensive data processing services aimed at achieving As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP) certification, a critical safety standard for UXO risk management. In the international market outside of the Netherlands, Ocean Geophysics has streamlined its ALARP certification process, achieving turnaround times as fast
Less is More with Gyroscopes
of less than 7W. It has a Doppler Velocity Logger-aided position accuracy of heading accuracy of 0.07° and pitch and roll accuracy of 0.01°. “The Phins 9 Compact is an ideal solution for new generation AUV manufacturers and e-ROV operators looking to save power without compromising on data processing capabilities,” says Le Roy. Its applications include survey-grade coastal and offshore seabed mapping, inspection repair and maintenance and defense.The latest models added to Advanced Navigation’s DFOG range are the Boreas A Series, including A90 and A70.
