  • Underwater Camera with Sonar Fusion
    Publication number: 20210409652
    Abstract: A multi-function sensor system comprises a camera and a sonar device to enable various measurements to be achieved in a single unit, or as multiple co-located units, thus reducing the cost of having such multiple functions. The camera and sonar device may be calibrated individually and as a system to provide an accurate and correlated set of optical and acoustic data.

  • Software Defined Lighting
    Publication number: 20210404874
    Abstract: A multi-function imaging system comprises a light sensor and a software defined light source to enable real-time automatic adjustment of various parameters of the one or more light sources. The system is realized in a single unit, or as multiple co-located units, thus reducing the cost of having such multiple functions. The system is capable of self-calibrating in the field to enable accurate imaging.
