AUS-ROV utilise multi-beam and single-beam sonars to capture three dimensional spatial data on underwater structures and environments. Multibeam sonars are used to acquire high resolution bathymetric survey data and produce 3D underwater topographic models. Single beam sonars can be utilised to profile dimensions of internal or external structures and replicate these structures in 3D cloud software. Specialising in sonar applications, AUS-ROV excels at locating shipwrecks and reefs, charting potential shipping hazards, and producing comprehensive 3D maps of underwater environments and structures.

At AUS-ROV, we leverage advanced, state-of-the-art technology for precise spatial data acquisition. Our team of hydrographic surveyors, GIS specialists, and technicians are highly respected experts in their field. When you need reliable spatial scientific services, turn to AUS-ROV for a customized solution designed to deliver the best possible results for your project. We pride ourselves on our professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to delivering accurate and timely results.

Our comprehensive range of services also includes seabed mapping, pipeline route surveys, bathymetric surveys, and marine construction support. No matter the complexity or scale of your project, AUS-ROV has the expertise and equipment to handle it with precision and efficiency.

With years of experience in the industry, AUS-ROV has built a reputation for excellence in underwater survey solutions. Our clients trust us for our quality workmanship, attention to safety, and reliable results. We understand the unique challenges of working in an underwater environment and are well-equipped to handle them with ease.

Sonar data provides an excellent means of interpreting underwater structures and is often the only viable option in challenging environments where traditional sensors, such as cameras or laser scanners, fall short due to physical or environmental limitations.

Sonar is commonly used in surveying by mounting it to the hull of a boat, just below the waterline, to scan the seafloor. When combined with GPS positioning data, the sonar output can be processed in real time and automatically mosaicked using survey acquisition software. For greater detail, sonar can also be mounted on remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) or autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), allowing closer mapping of specific areas than what is typically achievable from the surface.

However, this approach introduces a challenge: accurately positioning the ROV. With advanced software, data can be processed using semi-automatic mosaicking methods. Raw sonar captures are extracted as individual images and precisely aligned within GIS software. Algorithms for stitching and blending these images are used to create a seamless, homogenous mosaic. This mosaic can then be georeferenced onto existing plans and orthophotos, enabling detailed identification and mapping of features for further analysis.

Over time, multiple mosaics can be layered to monitor changes in the environment. Additionally, vectorizing the data to map specific points of interest enhances compatibility across different software platforms and fosters collaboration with related fields. This process ensures that sonar data is not only accurate but also versatile for a wide range of professional applications.

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.
