Subsea 3D Mapping

Subsea 3D mapping involves using advanced underwater imaging technologies to create detailed, three-dimensional maps of the ocean floor and underwater structures. This process typically employs sonar or laser systems mounted on ships or autonomous vehicles to send signals that bounce back from the seabed. The data collected is processed to generate highly accurate 3D models, helping engineers and scientists understand underwater topography, locate resources, plan installations, and perform environmental assessments. It’s a vital tool for safe, efficient subsea operations and exploration, providing comprehensive insight into underwater environments that are otherwise difficult to observe directly.
