 The LBV can be fitted with the latest small sonar manufactured by Tritech International, called Micron. The simple sonar is mounted to the top of the LBV and the data is transmitted through the standard LBV tether to the surface. Use of the standard 8mm diameter tether maintains low drag. At the surface the Micron is controlled by PC based intuitive software (see below).
|
|
Long range image capture
The Micron sonar has an approximate range of 75 meters. This added range enables sonar image capture from distances beyond visual. With the SeaBotix MiniROV stationary the Micron scans creating the image on the computer screen. When searching for an object interpreting the Micron image can help location and navigation. In addition, the 360 degree scan creates an image surrounding the ROV.

|
Low visibility image capture
The cameras fitted to the SeaBotix MiniROVs are essentially only as good as the human eye. When conditions are poor or light is refracting off particles in the water the Micron can help. The Micron is not limited in the same way and has the long range visibility in poor conditions. With this enhancement to the ROV it is easy to identify an object and navigate to it where a visual can be acquired.

|
Range to object and object avoidance
Much like the Long Range Image Capture the Micron sonar can help to identify the distance to an object from the LBV up to 75 meters away. Perhaps the object requires a safe distance the Micron can determine its position without getting too close.
|
|
|
Navigation
Use of the Micron sonar with the ROV aids in navigation by knowing the distance to known objects as well as their orientation to the ROV. When first placed in the water ROV can scan the seabed locating objects to mark home. With the on board compass navigation is greatly simplified.

|
|
Intuitive software
Provided with the Micron sonar is a simple and intuitive PC based software package. Note: the PC computer is NOT supplied. This simple software provides the image with several additional features such as: scan sector setup, scan speed, zoom, recording of image, image measurement, and more.
