Sonar 3D-15

Compact 3D real-time imaging

Navigating and imaging through unclear water has been enhanced with the advent of 3D technology. There's no longer a necessity to decipher 2D images; our real-time 3D imaging offers clarity that both novice and seasoned operators can easily grasp. Beyond the immediate advantage of real-time, first-person 3D viewing, the generation of point cloud data facilitates sophisticated autonomous navigation and genuine spatial understanding.

Description

Redefine your perception of the underwater environment thanks to the Water Linked advanced acoustic imaging sonar.

The Sonar 3D-15 is at the forefront of underwater exploration, delivering a clear, three dimensional acoustic image that penetrates even the murkiest of waters. This technology creates the ability for intuitive navigation, greatly enhancing the user’s capability to maneuver around obstacles and pinpoint targets.

Shallow water, often characterized by low visibility and high turbidity, typically renders optical cameras ineffective. While traditional 2D sonars offer some improvement, they fall short in providing a comprehensive understanding of the surrounding environment.

The 3D shaded view simplifies navigation, and the digitized point cloud data is ideal for detailed inspections and creating intricate models of both targets and the underwater terrain. This enables autonomous systems to execute complex decision-making processes.

The Sonar 3D-15 sets itself apart with its compact and efficient design, boasting a 300 meter operational depth and a mere 0.5 kilogram in-water weight. Its small size makes it suitable for an extensive variety of ROVs, from the smallest to those of larger size, and empowering them with the ability to discern targets in challenging conditions.

Aligning with the Water Linked commitment for ease of use, the sonar’s Graphical User Interface (GUI) is designed for accessibility through a web-based browser. This user-centric design eliminates the complexity of software installation, simplifying the integration process.

A detailed Application Programming Interface (API) allows users to merge the sonar image with third-party software.
