Overview

Coda Octopus is excited to announce the initial release of our new Echoscope^® Air camera designed for real-time 3D imaging applications above the waterline to complement the use of our Echoscope^® real-time 3D imaging sonars underwater.

Designed with our users in mind, the Echoscope Air initially focusses on the critical above water, short range construction market applications where imaging and placing objects above the waterline can be as critical as underwater, adding to placement accuracy and efficiency for operators and project construction teams. It gives users an extra level of scene awareness to ensure inspection and monitoring tasks are completed safely and efficiently with the same real-time 3D data and multi-aspect imaging as enjoyed uniquely by our Echoscope users. Providing the same real-time volumetric 3D data as the Echoscope allows seamless use of our powerful real-time and post-processing software applications (Underwater Survey Explorer and CMS) which have been invaluable in the construction industry for well over a decade.

The initial focus for Echoscope AIR is to provide new benefits for a number of key marine construction applications including:

• Breakwater Construction: The Echoscope Air can visualize the movement and track blocks above waterline for the first time. The Echoscope Air fully integrated within the CodaOctopus^® Construction Monitoring Solution (CMS) and is directly interchangeable for the Echoscope. The transition for placement of blocks from below the waterline to above the waterline is seamless and intuitive for even the most inexperienced crane operator.
  
  
• Port, Harbour, and Bridge Inspection: The Echoscope® AIR is also supported in our CodaOctopus^® Underwater Survey Explorer (USE) software allowing short range above water inspection tasks to be executed with the same ease as currently performed with Echoscope underwater. Deliverables from the Echoscope and the AIR can be combined in our top end software Underwater Survey Explorer (“commonly referred to as “USE”) for consolidated data output to clients.
