Cadden has launched a device that synchronises data from different sensors in UTC (Universal Time Clock) time and space. It integrates high-precision GPS positioning, data acquisition and measurement synchronisation functions...

The ocean plays a crucial role in mitigating climate change, yet we lack detailed information on over 95% of the seafloor. This article explores planblue’s solution to accelerate time-to-data and...

Hydroacoustic technology specialist GeoAcoustics has officially released GS4 software v1.0.25 for GeoSwath bathymetric sonars, adding several upgrades including an artificial intelligence data processing system developed in collaboration with the University...

An estimated 95% of the oceans remains unexplored today, implying a huge market opportunity for innovative marine survey solutions. While the boom in offshore renewables projects will certainly continue, the...

Artificial intelligence (AI) first came to light in the 1950s, when the ability of a machine to undertake an operation and adapt to changing conditions without human input was skirting...

Ifremer, the French research institute for ocean science, has received its new synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) from iXblue. It will equip the institute’s new 6,000m-rated autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) dedicated...

A competition was launched by the UK’s Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL) in an effort to develop an autonomous survey vehicle that could survey rivers and river banks to...

Woolpert has been awarded a task order under the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Shoreline Mapping Services Contract to provide topographic and bathymetric Lidar data and imagery for islands in...

Lidar mapping based on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs or ‘drones’) can generally be thought of as a close-range version of manned airborne laser scanning. In brief, lower mobilization costs and...

The pipeline survey industry has undergone a technological revolution in the past couple of years, and the consequential benefits and challenges are only just beginning to be fully realized. The...
