UScanner

Starting at €13.900 ex.VAT

The UVision UScanner is a cutting-edge 3D underwater scanner that seamlessly combines high-quality still images and positioning data for efficient point cloud generation and photogrammetry.

The global shutter stereo camera captures all pixels at the same moment – as opposed to rolling shutter which reads pixels sequentially – securing the most accurate image is captured. The dome ports minimise distortion at the periphery of the field of view, maximising image quality.

The device is small and light giving it various mounting options. The aluminum casing is corrosion resistant and designed for 300m depth.

Features

Making scanning as straightforward as possible

Real-Time Rendering of Point Clouds

The scanner processes data in real time producing a 3D point cloud which can be used to orientate and guide the operator and evaluate the quality of the scan data during collection – securing the scan is complete.

Photorealistic and Measurable

Post-processing produces a photographic quality and scaled 3D model, which allows details down to the millimetre level to be observed and measured.

Simple and Easy to Use Interface

Models are produced by an integrated hardware and software pipeline and delivered through our portal where they can be inspected, measured, annotated and downloaded – maximising end user convenience.

Global Positioning

UVision have integrated cm precise GNSS positioning capabilities into their solution, providing accurate positioning of the UScanner underwater. Position data can be streamed in real-time to the scanner where it is combined with image data. The resulting 3D models accurately positioned in the global coordinate system.

Global positioning also means that the models themselves are even more accurate and robust, especially over large areas. With this level of accuracy it is possible to compare models and detect changes happening over time. In addition, it makes it easier to produce models in steps and present them as a whole joined structure.

Positioning data can be read into to the UController on the operator laptop in real-time from any positioning system (eg USBL, RTK) supporting NMEA GGA format, or we can make a specific adaptation. UVision also offer a pre-integrated RTK receiver for the pole mounted option.

Mounting Flexibility

The scanner is small and light, giving various mounting possibilities

ROV Mounted

The scanner can be mounted and easily integrated to any ROV and even smaller ROVs. It can function as a main camera or used as an additional sensor.

Pole Mounted

For inspections close to the water side the scanner can be simply mounted on a pole with its own lights and power supply. It can also be used in combination with a Virtual Reality (VR) headset!

Handheld

A diver can document their inspection using the scanner by hand. We can provide different grips depending on preferences.
