V-LOC® - Visual Localization

v-loc-subsea NAV CAM ROV Structure Marker Gyro Heading Attitude
Forssea Robotics: V-LOC®
V-LOC® calculates assets relative coordinates thanks to open-source tags which are affixed to them. Web user screen allows for real-time tracking and system integration with 3rd party equipment.

Compatible with Survey & Navigation Suite

4D NAV
EIVA
QPS
  • V-LOC® calculates relative marker’s heading and attitude
  • Camera Heading, Pitch and Yaw is derived from ROV Gyro
  • Yard DIMCON determines relative positions between structure and marker

V-LOC® - Use Cases

Structure Tracking

Forssea Robotics Structure Tracking

Examples of use:

  • Asset tracking during descent and landing (monopile, Xmas tree, BOP)
  • Monopile inclination monitoring

System typical Accuracy of 3mm and 0.3° at 3m ROV flying distance

Docking

Forssea Robotics Docking

Examples of use:

  • ROV visual docking in garage or TMS
  • AUV visual docking in resident station
  • AUV recovery
  • Relative visual positioning

IMR

Forssea Robotics IMR

Examples of use:

  • Asset or valve identification
  • PLET or FLET buckling or walking monitoring
  • Resident vehicle position update in accordance with GIS and digital twin

Navigation

Forssea Robotics Navigation

V-LOC® offers INS position update to facilitate resident vehicle navigation.

V-NAV® - Visual Navigation

v-nav-subsea t₁ t₂ NAV CAM EVO ROV Underwater Object INS Texture & Relief
Forssea Robotics: V-NAV®
V-NAV® calculates camera displacement using visual odometry approach. Web user screen allows for real-time monitoring and system integration with 3rd party equipment.

Compatible with 3rd Party Photogrammetry Solution

ROV3D
  • V-NAV® detects Points of interest (POI) on visual texture
  • Displacement calculation is made possible thanks to stereovision
  • V-NAV® acts like a "Visual Velocity Log" and precisely feeds your navigation algorithm and/or INS sensor
