Underwater Photogrammetry for Shallow Water

Generating accurate underwater 3D models has traditionally required expensive survey equipment or larger subsea vehicles. The Hydro 100 provides a practical alternative.

Designed specifically for underwater photogrammetry at depths up to 100 meters, it lets operators capture high-quality stereo imagery that can be transformed into detailed digital models for inspection, documentation, and asset management. Its compact design makes it well suited for smaller ROV platforms while also supporting diver-based inspection workflows when vehicle deployment isn’t practical.

Generate Accurate 3D Models for Inland and Shallow-Water Inspections

The Hydro 100 is purpose-built for underwater photogrammetry, combining dual 5 MP stereo cameras with integrated high-output lighting to capture the imagery required for detailed 3D reconstruction.

Designed for inland waterways, industrial tanks, municipalities, research organizations, and universities, the Hydro 100 provides an accessible way to produce high-quality inspection documentation without relying on larger offshore survey systems.

Compact Integration for Mini and Observation-Class ROVs

The Hydro 100 was developed specifically for compact ROV platforms, making high-quality 3D modeling accessible to organizations operating mini and observation-class systems.

The system operates on 9–36 VDC power, offers Gigabit Ethernet data output, and includes a dedicated API that simplifies integration with compatible robotic platforms.

Flexible Deployment from ROVs or Divers

The Hydro 100 has an optional diver kit, giving teams the flexibility to use the same photogrammetry system across both robotic and diver-assisted inspections.

In addition to the diver kit, an optional skid expands deployment options across inland waterways, industrial tanks, and other shallow-water assets.

Create Real-Time 3D Models with IVM SLAM

The Hydro 100 is compatible with the IVM SLAM platform, an AI-powered topside processing system that enables real-time simultaneous localization and mapping during underwater inspections.

Together, the two systems provide operators with immediate visualization of captured survey data as inspections progress.

Real-time mapping can improve survey confidence by allowing teams to identify incomplete coverage while still in the field, reducing the likelihood of repeat deployments. For organizations building digital inspection programs, pairing the Hydro 100 with IVM SLAM can reduce survey uncertainty while accelerating the creation of inspection-ready 3D models.
