This is from a linkedin e-mail sent out on 21st feb 2017 an Announcement in ROV Network.


From February 16 to March 2, NOAA and partners will use NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer to explore unknown and poorly known deepwater areas in American Samoa and Samoa, with an emphasis on Rose Atoll Marine National Monument, National Marine Sanctuary of American Samoa, and National Park of American Samoa.

NOTE: ROV dives are planned, weather permitting, from February 16 - 28, typically from about 8 am to 5 pm SST (2 pm to 11 pm EST).

"Hiring top talent from around the world!"


ROV Members we have something exciting over the next few months. We are bringing to you LIVE the 2017 NOAA American Somoa Expedition!

From February 16 through March 2, and from April 4 through 21, the NOAA ship Okeanos Explorer will be exploring in and around National Marine Sanctuary of American Samoa and Rose Atoll Marine National Monument. In February, using the remotely operated vehicle (ROV) Deep Discoverer, scientists will be able to get up close with some of the deep-sea environments that make this sanctuary so unique. And in April, 24-hour mapping operations will help scientists better understand the geography of the region.

But it's not just scientists who will be able to experience these amazing environments! Okeanos Explorer is equipped with real-time broadband satellite communications that provide the ship with telepresence -- meaning the videos and photos collected with ROVs can be shared on the internet in real time. That means scientists on shore, teachers, students, and you can watch the dives as they happen!

Tune in here from February 16 through March 2 to watch the dives:

The vehicle is complete with 6 thruster's, 2 cameras, 4 lights,360 degree sonar, and a gripper.
There is also a surface power supply, sonar box, 2 hand boxes, monitors, video sync box, various cables, spare side scan head, spare accumulator, spare driver board and a comprehensive manual that outlines all procedures as well as electrical schematics, circuit board schematics and test and repair procedures. It does not come with umbilical or surface control console. It ships in a shipping crate 80 x 38 x 38 inches and weighs 1000 pounds when crated.
Asking $11000 obo. May consider parting out if interest in major components.

The Guardian is an ultra portable underwater inspection robot, thanks to its 4 horizontal and one vertical thrusters, it can be operated down to 150m depth. Fitted with two high resolution color cameras, one on pan&tilt, and LED lighting, it has been especially designed for long range missions (> 400 m in canalizations). Thanks to an ancillary
plug, various accessories such as sonars, gauges and a manipulator arm can be easily mounted on the Guardian. The control console is fitted with a 8’’ LCD screen, a digital
recorder/reader, joysticks and touchpad to select the automatic modes, and two video outputs for additional screens or recorders. The complete system with its umbilical is
packaged in one single transport case with a total weight of 29kg.

More technical specifications :

The ROV have a 200 meters Ombillic and 2 switch to plug external sensor. The machine was bought in July, 2013 and doesn't have magnetic coupling.
Price : 12 000 Euros

More picture and video on demand.

Hi guys!

Does anyone have an experience with the Teledyne Blueview BV5000 sonar?
Plan to use it for tunnel inspection with close to zero visibility, need to build a 3D model.

Thanks

The machine is complete and totally operational. Maintained at SubseaTech. 4 power levels, preservation of depth and course, front and back camera, possibility of inverting the commands for piloting via back camera, front camera on gimbal, functional leds, 200 meters of ombiliic, system of display of the images with recorder integrated on SD card, supplied in a pelcase box, this version is not equipped with the magnetic couplings and require an on-surface supply.

The machine has still dived yesterday. The machine always worked inhsore until maximum 60 meter depth.
All the equipment is functional without breakdown. Extra propellers and small chandlery supplied.

Seabed mapping using underwater laser profiler

Hi John, yes; we've been working in many confined spaces; cells of a condeep-type platform gravity base structure for one. The major advantage over sonar is that we don't have so many issues with multi-bounce and ringing echos.

John, is this for work in an inshore tunnel or offshore?

If I keep my laser hat on one thing I can think of at the moment is actually just taking a few line lasers and project a swath infront of you. It might give slightly better illumination characteristics than flood lit illumination by keeping scattered light source in a thin plane but you may find it's just clutching at straws if the water clarity is just too bad. We did this during some trenching operations in Turkey and it was only a marginal improvement. Obviously not what you want if the situation is more dynamic or you're floating around valves.

Now putting my offshore hat on - I would go for a 3D imaging sonar and mess with the gain ....

Hi John,

I've put up an image from the underwater laser-aided trenching job below; really for illustrative purposes, (but also if someone looks for similar information later on down the line.) In any case, if your visibility is akin to that observed below then perhaps this may be relevant to you after all.

The image below shows a Lumeneye underwater laser profiler mounted on what I presume is the front of a subsea jet trenching unit. I suspect the laser may be pointing downwards towards the seabed beneath the trencher.

I didn't have a technician out on this job unfortuntely; it was just our unit being used to test whether or not there would be a sufficient detection of the seabed for the pilots during landout onto the lay-product. The imaging would have been much better than achieved below if the operator had placed the video camera in close proximity and offset laterally to the underwater laser projector. (By way of example - the Lumeneye underwater laser shown here is only 30mm diameter so it's been mounted quite a distance abaft the laser unit). I also suspect if the ROV flood lights had been reduced or directed elsewhere the laser swath would have been easier to observe too.

We have put together a real-time image processing system that to some extent enables the existing camera to improve the detection of the laser swath amidst the scattering, but in this market no one is really paying for it. The human eye does a pretty amazing job at picking up the laser swath amidst the scattering anyway. It's not a game-changer, just a marginal improvement. The client liked it but they didn't want to stump up for the LIDAR version of it.

Incidentally; if you are looking at this image on a laptop, you may find that the laser line here becomes easier to see if you move your head a few feet back and move your head around a bit too). I think there's something to do with the way the brain receives low contrast signals like this from LED monitor screen. I promise this isn't our attempt to have a few hundred ROV project managers in Aberdeen doing the reverse of the trainee sonar calibration procedure..... OR MAYBE IT IS !!!

Best Regards,

Grant
