Abstract: A computing device for video object detection. Images from a camera are transferred in parallel to a first processor running object detection and a second processor running a 3D reconstruction. The object detection identifies a semantic object of interest and assigns a label to it and outputs the label information to an object mapper. The object mapper assigns the label to a component in the 3D model representing the object. The computing device can form part of a subsea or other harsh environment imaging system.

Abstract: A computer implemented method (82) for colour video processing, the method comprising: receiving a CFA image from a CFA imaging device, wherein the CFA image comprises CFA image pixels defining a plurality of image regions, each image region having at least one pixel of a first colour and at least one pixel of a second colour, at least one image region representing a portion of an object; receiving a full colour image from a colour imaging device, wherein the full colour image represents the portion of the object; storing the full colour image in a memory; isolating pixels of the first colour of the CFA image to generate a first colour channel comprising pixels of the first colour channel; isolating pixels of the first colour of the full colour image to generate a second colour channel comprising pixels of the second colour channel; processing the pixels of the first colour channel using a first computer vision algorithm to generate first image metadata; processing the pixels of the second colour channel usin

Abstract: A camera module for imaging in harsh environments, the camera module comprising: a casing defining a fluid tight sealed interior space, the casing being arranged to be mounted on a platform; a camera arranged to face outwardly from the casing to capture images; a data processor; an internal data link coupled between the camera and the data processor to transfer image data from the camera to the data processor; and an external data link coupled to the camera or the data processor and being arranged to communicatively couple the camera module to an external computing device distinct from the camera.

Abstract: A system which includes a mobile device and a server. The mobile device captures images of the survey site. A pose sensor detects the pose of the mobile device. The captured images are transferred to a data processor running a 3D reconstruction algorithm. The 3D reconstruction algorithm generates 3D survey data based on the images which is used to develop a local 3D model. The data processor also uses the images to create processed data. A transceiver transmits the processed data and/or pose data to the server. The server receives the 3D survey data and develops a server site 3D model.
