High-resolution subsea modeling depends on knowing whether you're capturing the coverage you need, both before the survey begins and in real time
That's why we developed 3D Recon Painter, a planning and visualization tool for subsea survey coverage.
Before going offshore, crews can simulate a planned survey against a CAD or STL model to estimate coverage, survey duration, and expected data volumes.
Offshore, 3D Recon Painter runs live using navigation data from the ROV. As the survey progresses, the structure transitions from red to green, showing in real time where sufficient coverage has been achieved for high-resolution modeling.
I this short video, Zupt President Keith Vickery walks through how 3D Recon Painter works, from pre-survey planning to live offshore acquisition.
The goal: make subsea reality capture more predictable, repeatable, and easier to manage offshore.
