An unusual resource has been published by 2G Robotics, a manufacturer of extremely precise seabed mapping instruments. They presented the use of their leading model ULS-500 in practice. As you can see in the accompanying multimedia, the image is extremely clear and full of detail, so much so that you can even see… a crab crawling on the bottom!

Sonardyne, on the other hand, is a company dedicated to using the latest technology for underwater work. It was its employees who mapped the seabed of Monterey Bay, California, using an ROV and a ULS-500 laser scanner mounted on it. Sonardyne’s summary stated, among other things:

“Laser mobile mapping is much faster than the methods used to date and allows for efficient and effective scanning of large areas.”

Another observation of the Sonardyne researchers was that dynamic laser mapping is much faster than static scanning, and the 3D seabed models acquired are extremely accurate.

“We have been involved in the development of equipment for the integration of dynamic scanning instruments for underwater equipment since 2012. During this time we have carried out many installations for AUVs, research grade ROVs or ROVs for underwater work belonging to companies from all over the world. Our ULS-500 system was developed specifically for dynamic scanning with a focus on high sampling rates, time synchronisation and fast and efficient inspection of specific areas.” – said Jason Gillham – CEO of 2G Robotics.

Underwater laser scanning is a new and developing technology that provides accuracy and precision while reducing working time and costs during exploration and underwater work.

2G Robotics’ underwater scanners generate real-time, very high resolution 3D models at true scale. Underwater installations, wrecks, organisms and conditions of a given environment can be the target of investigation.

The technology used by 2g Robotics ensures that the data acquired is of significantly better quality than that acquired using technology based on photography or acoustics.
