SUMMARY:Hydromapping and spherical vision systems - Dr Jon Chamberlain and
  Michael King
DTSTART:20171130T100000Z

UID:TALK95797@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Matthew Polaine
DESCRIPTION:Whether you're into benthic study or structural survey\, ocean
  or land\, ROV or ship-based\, there is bound to be something of interest 
 for you from Michael and Jon. With Jon starting at 11:00\, each talk will 
 last about 1hr\, with 15mins Q&A. Michael will start at 12:15. Please arri
 ve in good time to register at BAS reception.\n\n\nAt 14:00\, BAS will als
 o provide a few short 15 minute updates of latest science\, engineering an
 d operations that could have collaboration potential\, with ample networki
 ng opportunity during the afternoon. These talks TBC.\n\nMichael King - Bi
 bby HydroMap - Bibby HydroMap have invested heavily in multi-beam technolo
 gy and currently own nine systems\, four TELEDYNE RESON 7125 SV2 dual freq
 uency 200/400kHz ultra high resolution systems\, one TELEDYNE RESON T20-P 
 dual frequency 200/400kHz system\, one TELEDYNE RESON 7101 240kHz unit and
  three GeoSwath plus shallow water bathymetric sonar systems. They are exp
 erienced in a range of disciplines including hydrography\, marine engineer
 ing geophysics\, shallow marine geotechnics\, UXO detection\, ROV\, AUV an
 d tracked ROV survey and inspection\, maritime archaeology\, benthic sampl
 ing\, engineering geology\, metocean and oceanography.\n\nDr Jon Chamberla
 in\, University of Essex - In April 2017\, in response to an industry-pose
 d challenge\, academics from the School of Computer Science and Electronic
  Engineering at the University of Essex developed a dodecahedron-shaped dr
 one\, aiming to capture video of the entire 4π steradians surrounding it.
  The problem was testing such a drone without getting operators in the fie
 ld of view and to truly explore a 3-dimensional environment. Adrian Clark\
 , an experienced computer vision researcher\, and Jon Chamberlain\, a spec
 ialist in human-machine interaction and underwater research\, offered a so
 lution. The current speed of environment mapping is far greater than any o
 ther visual method currently used. The research is spawning new collaborat
 ions with interested researchers including Coral Reef Research Unit in Ess
 ex’s School of Biological Sciences\, where they are working on several n
 ew reef conservation projects.\n
