ROVs, High Resolution Video & 3D Photogrammetry

ROVs offer a customizable solution for environmental surveys, by making it possible to hone camera and lighting systems to site specific conditions. Our high resolution video can capture small scale features needed to detect taxa important to regulators, while capturing a complete scene to illustrate habitat use. The ROV continuously captures video, so we can reconstruct 3D models of habitat adding additional survey time.

We can customize our approach so our ROV-video can meet your projects needs

ROV-video can characterize valuable hard habitat without physically contacting the sea floor, including vertical and complex surface.

We can add additional sensors and samplers to the ROV to meet project requirments, such as a water sampler to facilliate the detection of non-native taxa using DNA analysis to meet regulator requirments.

In addition to a larger ROV, we deploy a smaller underwater drone. This tool offers a simple deployment for detecting marine growth, ghost gear, and fish.

ROVs for Environmental Surveys

A Customizable Solution to Support Project Specific Requirements

ROVs for Environmental Surveys
ROVs can characterize complex and vertical habitat, by adjusting the camera angle, lighting, and ROV position to meet project needs.
Sensitive Habitats
ROVs can characterize high-value and protected habitat without making physical contact with the sea floor, adhering to project specific requirements.
High Resolution Video
ROVs provide a live feed, facilitating adaptive sampling and live camera tuning to ensure image quality.
3D Photogrammetry
ROVs continuously capture video, which can be used to reconstruct habitat in a 3D model using photogrammetry.
3D Model Analysis
3D models can support engineering inspections, scour deformation analysis, marine growth assessments, and ecosystem models.
Additional Sensors and Samplers
ROVs can carry additional sensors and samplers needed to meet project needs.
