Abstract: A method of performing remote subsea inspection includes processing mission data from a UUV at an offshore location to produce a low-resolution output and a high-resolution output, automatically and in real time. The high-resolution output is stored at the offshore location while the low-resolution output is transmitted wirelessly across a low-bandwidth communication also automatically and in real time, to be reviewed by subject-matter experts at one or more onshore or inshore locations. Selected portions of the high-resolution output can be transmitted across the communication link to the subject-matter experts on demand. Data outputs can be transmitted across the communication link at a resolution adjusted automatically in accordance with the bandwidth measured to be available on that link.
