POWERED BY EIVA NAVISUITE
Voyis VSLAM
Voyis VSLAM Powered by EIVA NaviSuite is a real-time visual acquisition and visualization tool for the Voyis Discovery Stereo Camera, giving ROV operators immediate feedback on survey data quality. Unlike traditional stereo systems that rely on post-processing, the VSLAM solution builds a 3D reconstruction live during acquisition, helping teams ensure they’re meeting coverage and image quality goals.
With version 1.3, the system now delivers real-time textured 3D visualizations using a voxel-based model – an industry first. This shift from point clouds improves clarity by revealing textures and contours as the inspection progresses, making it easier to spot gaps and fill them efficiently.
System controls, low-latency video, data metrics, and the textured 3D model are all integrated in the EIVA NaviSuite interface, enhancing pilot awareness and streamlining survey execution.
Real-time 3D model highlights coverage gaps for targeted inspection
Augmented ROV piloting through clear spatial context and live textures
Accurate vehicle localization enables subsea autonomy features like obstacle avoidance
Combined delivery of video, stills, and 3D data for underwater inspection quality control
VOYIS & EIVA
Powerful Collaboration
Voyis VSLAM Powered by EIVA NaviSuite is provided exclusively by Voyis for the Discovery Stereo, and interfaces directly with EIVA NaviSuite software to ensure a seamless data integration with wider survey operations. A tight integration between both software and hardware ensures that all available survey data is effectively leveraged in 3D reconstruction.
This initiative combines the expertise of two Covelya Group organizations: Voyis’ hardware expertise in supplying the highest quality calibrated image data is united with EIVA’s survey navigation, acquisition, processing and visualisation software, providing customers with an optimized workflow, data management tools, integrated into the NaviSuite toolbox.
Survey operators and pilots can use a common interface for both piloting and data acquisition
Low-latency video is combined with ROV visualization in the 3D environment, enabling augmented piloting and trajectory monitoring
Integrated Discovery Stereo acquisition controls combined with survey metrics including standoff distance and survey speed
VISUAL SIMULTANEOUS LOCALIZATION AND MAPPING
How It Works?
Voyis VSLAM Powered by EIVA NaviSuite processes stills images from the Discovery Stereo Camera, identifying and tracking features between sequential images to simultaneously reconstruct the environment and estimate the camera’s trajectory.
By leveraging stereo image calibration and shifts in perspective, the software generates a live 3D model of the structure as it is surveyed. The system automatically recognizes when previously observed features reappear, enhancing both the visual model accuracy and the navigation path.
In version 1.3, this dense point cloud output has evolved into a real-time textured 3D voxel model, giving operators a clearer and more realistic view of the inspection scene. This augmented visualization enables ROV pilots to validate coverage with confidence, navigate with increased spatial awareness, and act immediately on identified gaps or anomalies.
The result is an accurate, continuous 3D model that ensures survey goals are being met, minimizing rework and maximizing mission success.
