UNDERWATER IMAGING

Observer Vision Series

The first smart ROV vision system for low latency vehicle piloting and 3D inspection with powerful edge-computing.

4K Low Latency Video + Stills

Edge computing simultaneously captures raw stills images for 3D modelling while streaming enhanced video for effective vehicle piloting and observation

Simplified Autonomy

The compact design with integrated lights and a DDS data architecture with ROS2 support drastically simplify vehicle integration for autonomy applications

Ultra-wide Field of View

An incredible 130°x130° degree field of view for maximum situational awareness. Active undistortion and digital zoom enable effective inspection

The Observer Vision Series uses integrated Nova Mini Lights to deliver crisp stills images & 4K video from a single powerful platform
