Echoscope
Echoscope is the world’s highest definition real time 3D imaging sonar. By generating over 16,000 beams per acoustic transmission and with a frame rate of over 10 pings per second, Echoscope® sonars provide unique underwater 3D acoustic movie imagery. Viewing the subsea scene in real time using patented 3D rendering techniques allows for immediate decision making during underwater positioning projects, whilst maintaining a measurable dataset for mapping purposes. Used in a number of applications ranging from Port Security, IRM (Inspection, Repair and Maintenance), and cable or mattress laying through to marine construction and ROV intervention work, the Echoscope has proved to save vessel time and increase productivity during zero visibility subsea conditions. Compact and portable and with the choice of either single frequency or dual frequency systems, the Echoscope can be rapidly deployed on vessels using an over-the-side pole mount or alternatively integrated onto a number of different ROVs or AUVs. Each Echoscope 3D sonar is supplied with the modular USE (Underwater Survey Explorer) topside software package which can integrate the sonar to a number of auxiliary sensors like motion, heading and positioning systems. The combination of Echoscope and USE software with their unique and patented capabilities is changing the mode of many subsea operations around the globe.
The Echoscope can be supplied in OEM form for integration with subsea vehicles to perform unique 3D inspections and surveys. CodaOctopus can supply technical integration packs and consultancy to allow the client to seamlessly integrate the Echoscope.
Echoscope C500
The Echoscope C500 forms part of the new Echoscope Compact Series (C-Series). The C500 is based on our patented Echoscope technology and delivers real-time 3D sonar capability in a smaller, lighter, ruggedised form factor with reduced power requirements.
The Echoscope C500 is suitable for ROV and AUV based applications as well as vessel deployments. The unit outputs real-time 3D data at beam widths of 1.1° x 2.1° (375 kHz) and 0.6° x 1.2° (610 kHz).
Fully integrated with our powerful Underwater Survey Explorer software, the C500 can be used with the full range of functionality available including the latest Models+ module allowing dynamic control of sonar augmented 3D models in the 3D Workspace. The C500 allows the acquisition of full real-time 3D data in a time efficient manner.
