CodaOctopus is to show a gallery of images and updates delegates about the latest developments in Echoscope technology on stand 317 at UUVS. The event takes place at the National Oceanography Centre in Southampton, UK, on 21st and 22nd September.
The company gives updates on the technology of real-time high-resolution 3D imaging, illustrating this with Echoscope data from recent projects and highlighting the benefits it can bring. The diverse range of underwater applications includes subsea construction, pipeline stabilisation, dredge monitoring and harboursecurity.
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.
