KEY FEATURES
KEY FEATURES

How does 3D sonar work?

A 3D sonar image is generated by simultaneously forming acoustic beams that cover multiple rows, rather than just a single row of beams only capable of producing a 2D image.  Sonar 3D-15 forms 16,000 beams, known as voxels.  A voxel provides a value on a regular grid in three-dimensional space, meaning that they all have X, Y, Z and intensity data connected to each of them.  As long as you know where the sonar is then you know exactly where each point is located as a georeferenced coordinate.

See clearly in waters with zero visibility

Advanced 3D multibeam imaging - High turbidity and low visibility renders optical cameras ineffective.  SONAR 3D-15 provides a comprehensive understanding of the surrounding environment, regardless of water conditions.

Create point clouds specifically for your purposes
Each acoustic "ping" generates a complete 3D image without the need for scanning or post-processing.

 Sonar 3D-15 generates a digital point cloud output, which is easily integrated with third-party software to create models of underwater targets and terrain.

Compact for factor - ​Upgrade any ROV with 3D sonar technology

Only 12 x 8 x 4cm - Weighs just 0.39 kg in-water​!

Suitable for an extensive variety of ROVs, empowering even the smallest vehicles  with the ability to discern targets in challenging conditions.

Navigate intuitively with  real-time 3D imaging

Immediately generate a complete 3D imageUse the output to support real-time autonomous navigation and decision-making. Use the geo-referenced point cloud data as you see fit.  Graphical User Interface (GUI) designed for accessibility through a web-based browser, displaying real-time data in a 3D shaded view
