VEHICLE PILOTING AND SUBSEA 3D INSPECTIONS
4K Low Latency Piloting Video
The Discovery Vision System leverages edge-computing to deliver the best possible low latency video stream for ROV piloting. High dynamic range (HDR) stills images are captured with short exposures and efficiency, enhanced in real-time to ballance illumination. These crisp images are simultaneously encoded into a 4K video stream, that achieves a glass-to-glass latency of under 250ms.
The integrated ultra-high power Nova Mini lights ensure blurless images are captured, and all features are fully illuminated for feature tracking & 3D modelling. Enhancement of raw HDR images ensure both bright and dark areas are visible, and a massive 130°x130° field of view gives the pilot complete situational awareness
3D MODELING
Designed for 3D Inspection
The compact Discovery camera simultaneously captures video plus crisp stills images with integrated navigation data to enable effective wide area photogrammetry. Corrected images are simply dropped into the software to generate stunning 3D models.
The Discovery Stereo offers 3D pointclouds in real-time using stereo images to generate depth maps with onboard processing. These real-time onboard models can be utilized by the vehicle for autonomy applications like manipulator control, stationkeeping, and navigation.
ENABLING AUTONOMY
Innovative Integration
The Discovery leverages a cutting-edge robotics architecture to simplify and enhance integrations into subsea vehicles. The cameras directly support DDS (data distribution standard) ensuring all output data types are published over the vehicle network for streaming to multiple endpoints. The API directly supports ROS2 vehicle operating systems, drastically simplifying adoption.
Cameras come with the compact integrated Nova Mini lights, which are designed to minimize power draw, synchronize to the camera, and evenly illuminate the camera’s field of view with over 60,000 lumens per light.
