DeepSea Launches SmartSight MV100 Machine Vision Camera
DeepSea Power & Light has launched the first in its line of cameras for machine vision applications: the SmartSight™ MV100.The SmartSight MV100 leverages machine learning and AI to bring object recognition, navigation, inspection technology, and other value-add autonomous solutions to the subsea market.The SmartSight MV100 camera includes a Gigabit Ethernet interface for easy integration with existing platforms and a low power consumption, making it well suited for autonomous vehicles. It weighs only 0.44 kg (flat) / 0.37 kg (dome) in water, allowing it to fit virtually anywhere. The MV100
Teledyne Unveils 16K, 1-Megahertz TDI Line Scan Camera
, or 16 Gigapixels per second data throughput.The Linea HS2 features a highly sensitive Backside Illuminated (BSI) multi-array charge-domain TDI CMOS sensor with 16k/5 µm resolution and optimized Quantum Efficiency, which Teledyne DALSA says meets the rigorous demands of current and future machine vision applications.The multi-array TDI sensor architecture allows the camera to be configured for superior image quality with maximized line rate, dynamic range, or full well, according to specific application requirements. This makes it particularly ideal for life science applications, says the company
Voyis Discovery Camera Integrated with Deep Trekker REVOLUTION ROV
generating high-resolution still images and IMU data. The resulting assets can be processed through edge computing to produce intricate 3D models. These capabilities find applications in intelligent ROV piloting and comprehensive inspections. The cameras produce clear stills suitable for advanced machine vision and 3D modeling, complemented by real-time image enhancement, an ultra-wide field of view (130°x130°), and distortion correction for comprehensive situational awareness. Designed with compactness in mind and incorporating integrated lights, along with DDS data architecture and ROS2 support
DeepOcean Deploys Its First Autonomous Drone for Inspection of Offshore Structures
MK2 ROV from Argus Remote Systems, with upgraded hardware and software packages. Argus is responsible for AID platform and navigation algorithm. DeepOcean is responsible for the digital twin platform, mission planner software and live view of the AID in operation, while Vaarst is responsible for machine vision camera “Subslam 2x” for autonomous navigation and data collection.The AID measures 1.25 x 0.85 x 0.77 meters and weighs 320 kilograms in air and can operate in water depths down to 3,000 meters.The inertial navigation system selected from Sonardyne is the Sprint Navigator mini 4K
Nauticus Robotics' Robotic AI Mine-Detection Project Passes First Phase at Defense Innovation Unit
that its novel implementation included a robot capable of not only swimming, but also crawling out of the surf and onto the beach. "The solution utilizes the company’s autonomous command and control software platform, ToolKITT, and combines several mature technologies such as machine vision, autonomous mission planning, and acoustic data networking onto an amphibious robotic vehicle hull that can collect intelligence and identify potential hazards. ToolKITT, which also serves as the foundation of Nauticus’ flagship robot Aquanaut, was specifically designed to enable autonomous
Voyis Launches Advanced Vision System for Subsea ROVs
capability in underwater exploration and inspection applications. The Discovery Vision Systems represent a significant leap forward in the performance of ROV vision systems, delivering simultaneous 4K video and 3D data streams. We believe this system will become the standard platform for underwater machine vision and autonomy, helping to advance a revolution in subsea robotics."
Vaarst Launches SubSLAM X2 in US Subsea Market
which can operate in depths down to 2000m and three systems which will operate in shallower waters down to 300m. A 6000m capable system is expected to be available from Q3 2023.Mounted on any ROV carrying out a visual inspection, SubSLAM can record all data in a single flight. Equipped with machine vision sensors and fast onboard processors, 3D reconstructions are modelled while high resolution 4K video footage is being captured.Alternatively if work has to be carried out over a longer period of time, multi-session dives can be carried out, with SubSLAM’s ability to recommence surveying
Tech File: A Robotic Reach in Offshore Wind
USV, to another moving object?This is the synchronous stabilisation the company has been working on, or its Autonomous Synchronised Stabilised Platform (ASSP), that’s had European Regional Development Fund through the Marine-I programme in Cornwall, where the company has another base. It adds machine vision to synchronise the payload motion with the moving target, so that, whatever motion the articulated arm is experiencing, the end of the arm has no residual motion with regard to the moving (floating) object it’s synchronising with.This could be used from ships for launch and recovery of
Oi Americas to Host Product Launches and New Technologies
;Ready for launch at OiA, Arctic Rays’ new, 1,000m rated, subsea surveillance system comprises topside hardware with video management software and subsea hardware for networking of lights, cameras, and pan-and-tilt units. We’re also particularly proud of Yellowfin, the company’s new machine vision system, and our own pressure relief valve, Barnacle. Almost ready for launch is a new battery-powered camera option for Mako, our existing camera that films in 4K/UHD, FHD and HD. Plus, there are a couple of other new products in earlier-stage development that we can’t yet reveal publicly
