Generate Accurate 3D Models and Measurements with the Hydro 1000
Accurate dimensional data is critical when planning repairs, documenting asset condition, or comparing changes over time. But traditional underwater measurements can be time-consuming and may require multiple inspection passes to gather enough information for engineering decisions.
The Hydro 1000 helps simplify the process. By combining high-resolution underwater imaging with advanced photogrammetry, you get accurate 3D models of subsea assets—faster and easier than traditional methods allow.
By producing reliable data during a single inspection, operators can reduce repeat dives, improve reporting, and make more confident maintenance decisions.
Reliable Deep-Water Performance in Challenging Offshore Environments
Deep-water subsea inspections can involve poor visibility and other challenging operating conditions. At the same time, the high cost of offshore operations means inspection teams have little room for equipment failures or unreliable data.
The Hydro 1000 is engineered specifically for these challenging subsea environments. Rated for operation at depths of up to 1,000 meters, the system uses a titanium pressure housing that provides strength while helping control payload weight.
Integrate the Hydro 1000 with Existing ROV Inspection Workflows
The Hydro 1000 is designed for deployment on both Light Work Class and Work Class ROVs, making it suitable for a wide range of subsea inspection operations.
A dedicated API supports integration with existing vehicle control systems, while SubConn Micro Circular connectors simplify installation and communication. Together, these capabilities let teams incorporate photogrammetry into existing offshore workflows with minimal disruption, helping crews begin collecting high-quality 3D data more quickly.
Create Real-Time 3D Models with IVM SLAM
The Hydro 1000 is compatible with IVM SLAM, an AI-powered survey assistant delivered as a topside computer that enables real-time simultaneous localization and mapping during underwater inspections.
As the Hydro 1000 captures images, IVM SLAM processes downscaled imagery to generate a live 3D model in the IVM Supervisor interface, giving operators immediate visibility into inspection progress.
This real-time view helps teams identify incomplete coverage before leaving the site, reducing the likelihood of repeat deployments. IVM SLAM also selects key images from the survey to accelerate post-processing of the final high-accuracy 3D reconstruction.
