IVM SLAM

Real-time 3D and spatial awareness for subsea operations

The IVM SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) is a topside computer that provides live 3D mapping and trajectory awareness during subsea inspections.

Reduce survey duration by up to 85%

Cut post-processing time by up to 80%

Ensure complete asset coverage before leaving site

Gain real-time spatial awareness during subsea operations

Easy integration, just plug & survey

The IVM SLAM acts as an intelligent assistant, processing data from the Hydro Series unit to generate a live 3D model as you navigate. In addition, IVM SLAM enables cutting down data post processing time by selecting key frames from each survey, reducing post processing duration by up to 80%. This immediate spatial awareness helps operators track their progress, ensuring all necessary data is collected, and optimize the survey duration.

Adding the IVM SLAM to your fleet means you get immediate coverage insights and achieve the best operational efficiency on all your inspections, even in challenging underwater conditions such as turbidity.

Real-time 3D modeling through computer vision

IVM SLAM analyses consecutive images captured by the Hydro Series and identifies common visual features to build a point cloud of the asset inspected.

This provides operators with immediate spatial awareness while supporting real-time inspection coverage and data quality control.

Plug & Play solution for 3D subsea inspections

The IVM SLAM integrates seamlessly with all Hydro Series units. During inspections, images captured by the photogrammetry unit are transmitted to the SLAM topside computer, where they are processed in real-time to generate a 3D model. This real-time 3D model is then displayed on the IVM Supervisor software interface, allowing the operator to visualize the inspection progress in 3D live.
