RS Aqua and UVision Partner to Bring Underwater 3D Scanning to UK & Ireland

RS Aqua has announced a new partnership with Copenhagen-based UVision to deliver advanced, photorealistic underwater 3D imaging technology to the UK and Ireland markets.

Robert Coffey, CTO & Cofounder at UVision said: 

“UVision is delighted to partner with RS Aqua to bring our advanced underwater 3D scanning technology to UK and Ireland, supporting RS Aqua’s mission to drive ocean discovery and exploration through cutting-edge marine innovation.

For RS Aqua’s customers, this means access to high-resolution 3D visualisation tools that simplify underwater inspection, enhance data quality and usability, and open new possibilities for infrastructure assessment, research, and monitoring across marine and civil engineering sectors”

By combining high-definition stills and positioning data, UScanner ensures efficient and reliable photorealistic 3D model generation for incredibly precise scans of harbour walls, civil engineering sites and more.

UScanner is designed to give users the best image possible. The UController software enables real-time Point Cloud rendering that helps guide the operator during recording, whilst the dual camera system’s global shutter sensor ensures all pixels are captured at the same time.

Post deployment, scans are processed using the UVisualiser cloud server. The post-processing phase is supervised by the UVision team, the inspection, measurement and annotation is then completed by the customer.
