Nice use of 3 different types of underwater mapping
Pearl Habour wrecks surveyed with multibeam, LiDAR and underwater photogrammetry. Coolest thing is making models of wreck artefacts by using 3D printers. The small USV is also pretty impressive – complete with R2Sonic 2020.
Qimera – very exciting
I’ve been working on this for a few months now and finally we can talk about it. Qimera should really change the way that multibeam data is processed. No complicated setup, an intuitive interface and unbelievably powerful features and speed. More posts to follow on this!
Going to need a head for heights to setup the GPS antennas on this one
Look how deep the heavy-lift vessel had to ballast down – 20.5 m! http://www.offshoreenergytoday.com/largest-jack-up-rig-in-the-world-on-a-12-000-miles-journey/ #epicjourney
Always interesting when multibeam manufacturer’s get bought
Teledyne RESON buys Atlas Hydrographics
Integrating multibeam & laser
I’m presenting at the RESON UTS in Hamburg on getting the data right when collecting multibeam and laser data combined. To give you a taster, here’s an image from a survey we conducted at Portland Harbour recently. @RESON_Seabat http://mmt.se/news-media/laser-bathymetry-survey/
Nice article by Scripps on an Underwater volcano with Fledermaus
Scripps have been users of Fledermaus for a long time and it is thanks to them and their requirement that we have Fledermaus on the Mac. This is good use of the vertical image curtain to show the magma chamber combined with the bathy DTM.
Shallow Survey Dataset Collection underway
Shallow Survey, the high resolution seabed mapping conference is back in Plymouth in September 2015. To go with the conference is the Common Dataset. Find out more here http://www.shallowsurvey2015.org/default.asp?page=commondataset
Val Schmidt and the Lost AUV
An excellent, if a little sweaty palms, story of how an AUV was lost and then found. It is bad enough to lose a sidescan or ROTV (we did 2 years ago but luckily it was washed up on a beach) but an AUV is even more expensive!
