Creating 3D models of submerged items using underwater laser scanning can reveal fine-scale three-dimensional features not identifiable though use of other conventional survey technologies. AUS-ROV 2G Robotics ULS200 underwater laser scanner can produce sub-millimetre accurate results.
Three-dimensional underwater laser scanning
Creating 3D models of submerged items using underwater laser scanning can reveal fine-scale three-dimensional features not identifiable though use of other conventional survey technologies. Laser scanning technology enables virtual interaction with underwater assets in detail not previously achievable. AUS-ROV utilise a ULS-200 underwater laser scanner from 2G Robotics and can perform underwater laser scanning in order to produce 3D models of assets. Please give us a call to discuss your specific requirements and we can tailor a solution that provides the highest achievable certainty in BIM or CAD models.
STATIC LASER SCANNING
Laser scanning technology can be performed underwater from a stationary position. The ULS-200 can be deployed by divers, ROVs, crawlers, centralizers, and frames. It generates point clouds with a profile of 480 points across a 50 degree angle swath. The head rotates a full 360 degrees and can achieve sub-millimeter accuracy of targets such as large pipes, tunnels, damaged structures, and other underwater objects up to 2.5m distance. With a sample rate of up to 4750 points/sec the ULS-200 is perfect for 3D modelling close to medium range objects.
DYNAMIC LASER SCANNING
The ULS-500 PRO is 2G Robitics longest range underwater laser scanner. When fitted to an ROV with an inertial navigation system for positioning, the system can dynamically capture true-scale, high-precision 3D models of underwater features such as shipwrecks, pipelines or offshore O&G structures. Dynamic Laser Scanning reduces survey time as it enables capture of High Resolution 3D point clouds without static positioning, providing greater survey coverage with less bottom time. The ULS-500 is a leader in its class, for more information, visit 2G Robotics.
