Bowtech cameras and lasers used on the NEKTON First Descent Mission

Mon, 25 Mar 2019 12:34:47 GMT

During the NEKTON First Descent Mission the Teledyne Bowtech Surveyor-HD-Pro camera is used to record organisms down to 300 meters. There is mounted 3 Bowtech OceanLASERs around the camera to be able to measure the scale of the items in the frame.

Doing pre-dive surveys with the SeaBat T50-P Extended Range Multibeam Sonar on the First Descent Mission.
Much of the ocean is unmapped and even what has been surveyed was done so centuries ago. We catch up with Mike from Bibby HydroMap who is using a Sonar to scan an area off the coast of Aldabra.

The Multibeam system is crucial for mapping the seabed for the scientists and also the submersibles. It has never been done on such a small craft before!

Josh Gates from the Travel Channel series Expedition Unknown travels to his ancestral home of Great Britain to explore the origins of Stonehenge. From high in the air to deep under the sea, he finds an unexpected network of monuments that could have inspired one of history's most mystical locations.

This video shows how Teledyne BlueViews 3D Multibeam Scanning Sonars are used to find and map what is believed to be the original inspiration for Stonehenge.

Teledyne Bowtech’s Surveyor-HD-Pro cameras were deployed on the submersible vessels used during the research gathering stages of Nekton's NW Atlantic Mission (Summer 2016).

The Surveyor-HDPro is an ultra wide angle HD colour zoom camera with water corrected optics. It is a unique combination of widest angle vision and compact engineering to produce an extremely dynamic and well engineered system. Excellent images can be obtained through the fused silica hemispherical window, some of which can be seen as part of the Nekton and Teledyne Marine collaboration video detailing this mission.

Video surveying of unexplored ecosystems down to 300m was principal to Nekton’s research, and with operating pressures up to thirty atmospheres, low temperatures, very low ambient light and rugged terrain often surrounded by fast currents, the environment was one of the toughest and most challenging ever experienced. Nekton required only the most advanced and highly robust systems to operate and succeed with the research gathering.

Monitoring Basking Sharks in the waters of Coll in the Inner Hebrides of...

Biologists from Aberdeen University wanted to find out if sonar equipment could be used to learn more about the movements of basking sharks. Most of the current knowledge about basking sharks is based on what is visible at the surface and, as such, an investigation was sought to determine if surface observations matched what was happening below the surface. In particular, the scientists were interested to know if the sharks were 'stacking', and whether there was evidence of young sharks.To support this research, Teledyne RESON supplied Aberdeen University with a SeaBat 7128 forward-looking multibeam imaging system. The project was carried out from 7-9 August 2012 off the waters of Coll in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland. Basking sharks are known to reside here and sightings are particularly common at this time of year.
