Vision-based positioning for installation and surveying work on underwater facilities

On position in rough sea

The underwater world is one of the most hostile working environments. It is not only poor visibility, high pressure and varying currents that make conditions difficult. Constantly changing environments, corrosion and deposits also make underwater activities a challenge.

For the operators of offshore wind turbines or drilling platforms this is part of their daily bread. Both in the construction of the facilities and in their maintenance. An important basic prerequisite for carrying out any kind of work on the high seas is always precise positioning.

Forssea Robotics offers the NAV CAM SUBSEA navigation camera, an all-in-one system for underwater vehicles for accurate determination of the relative and absolute positioning of underwater installations. An industrial camera from IDS Imaging Development Systems GmbH provides the necessary overview.
