OceanServer offers the
most affordable AUV platform with repeatable and very accurate
navigation.The Iver
platform’s average navigational accuracy is less than 0.5% of
distance traveled CEP 95 in real-time.This low cost approach is done without the aid of
transponders or an INS.The AUV algorithms utilize the data from multiple sensor
inputs (GPS, digital compass, DVL, CT Data) with a single
in-water calibration step
to provide exceptional navigation (best case average: 0.3% of
distance traveled).
Vehicle accuracy can be further improved by post processing (accurate
as GPS).Depending on
the vehicle configuration, Iver2 AUV sensor data can also be post
processed (such as Side Scan and Multibeam
data sets).
The above sonar image collected with the
Iver2 AUV shows the precision accuracy.The sonar image layer is overlaid on the latest Google
Earth image which clearly highlights the alignment with shoreline
landmarks.VectorMap
offers users one touch sweep tools which allow the vehicle to surface
at the end of each sweep and acquire GPS readings for the best
accuracy (no user intervention).
