Building a clean 3D model from underwater footage comes down to the quality of the capture. No amount of post-processing recovers a blurred frame or a gap in coverage.
SPECTRA was engineered around that idea from the start: the factory calibrated stereo 4K camera resolves metric scale from a known baseline, so measurements come out of the reconstruction without scale bars, targets, or reference objects in frame. Seven thrusters hold station in current, keeping frame-to-frame overlap consistent and images sharp enough for reliable feature matching. A 300,000 lumen array tracks the camera head, so illumination stays even across the dataset no matter where the pilot points.
Add real time 3D Sonar SLAM into the mix and pilots can confirm full coverage before ever leaving the site, turning a single inspection into photorealistic, measurable data.
Our guide breaks down the full workflow from planning the route to processing the final model.
