AUVs with Camera System05/06/2009 |
| C & C Technologies has added its proprietary camera technology on its Surveyor Class AUVs. The camera systems allow to take high-resolution photographs of the seafloor with the AUVs. When a sonar target of interest is detected, the operator can instruct the AUV to fly in closely and take a grid of overlapping pictures which we can mosaic. |

The camera is great insurance when doing an AUV survey. If you happen to need it, you have it. The camera system can also be used to quickly image pipelines and other subsea infrastructure. This technological advance results in cost and time savings for clients.
The C-Surveyor proprietary camera system captures flash-illuminated black and white photographs of the seabed at fixed time intervals. After each AUV dive, the images are recovered and post-processed. Each photograph has a resolution of 1360 by 1024 pixels.

Hydrographic Survey of Riverbed Erosion |
Members of the US Geological Survey were filmed while out on the Missouri River at Williston, North Dakota, USA, performing a hydrographic survey to monitor the state of riverbed erosion. They were using a multibeam echo sounder which transmits sound energy and analyses the return signal (echo) that has bounced off the riverbed or other objects. Multibeam sonars emit sound waves from directly beneath a ship's hull to produce fan-shaped coverage of the riverbed.
