Quality control and situational awareness
Want to optimally ensure comprehensive and accurate data collection? During visual inspections, Voyis VSLAM Powered by EIVA NaviSuite lets you display 3D point clouds and trajectory plots generated in real-time – alongside your RGB-D camera stills. With this, QC engineers can thoroughly evaluate the survey's coverage and identify any potential areas where data may be missing or insufficient. For example, if there is noise in the trajectory data or blank spaces in the point cloud, you can take corrective actions promptly, such as conducting additional scans or adjusting survey parameters.

Monitor displays in an intuitive user interface
Tailor your data display to suit your needs, whether piloting an ROV or performing quality control. You can customise the NaviSuite VSLAM software interface with several synchronised views, such as an overview map, RGB-D camera stills, video and 3D point cloud – of which you can create multiple 2D/3D views.

Integrate with NaviPac Pro
For an unmatched level of integration, if you are using NaviPac Pro for navigation and positioning, you can display your Voyis VSLAM Powered by EIVA NaviSuite point cloud and trajectory data in the same interface.
You can register observations, take snapshots, as well as load background maps and 3D models. Unlock this integration and many more advanced features, including quantifiable change detection, measurement analysis and touchless metrology, with a NaviSuite bundle, such as for pipe and cable inspections.
Integration with Discovery Stereo
Ensure high performance on a small form factor unit thanks to Voyis’ Discovery Stereo camera’s edge computing.
Integration with Discovery Stereo
Ensure high performance on a small form factor unit. Voyis’ Discovery Stereo camera’s edge computing reduces topside software computation and system latency, ensuring high-quality stills used by Voyis VSLAM Powered by EIVA NaviSuite. Camera outputs are partly processed in onboard software, yielding RGB-D images, rectified stereo pairs (aligned for ease of use in computer vision and metrology applications) and low latency video.
NaviSuite VSLAM algorithms are pre-calibrated to the camera and run directly on images as they are taken. Data is compressed before being sent to the topside computer, which greatly reduces bandwidth requirements and enables real-time video for the pilot display.
The Discovery Stereo with integrated Nova Mini Lights provides a powerful platform for all a vehicle's vision needs, delivering stills images, video, IMU data and 3D data with a data-centric DDS architecture

What is VSLAM?
Learn more about this computer vision technique, including how it compares to photogrammetry.
What is VSLAM?
Cameras transform 3D environments into 2D visualisations, while techniques like VSLAM (visual simultaneous localisation and mapping) and photogrammetry take those 2D visualisations and turn them into digital 3D representations, such as point clouds or 3D textured mesh models. The ability to generate 3D reconstructions, or digital twins, is a game changer when inspecting critical assets such as those in offshore energy or civil infrastructure.
Subsea 3D digitisation from camera: VSLAM vs photogrammetry technologies
A notable difference between the two techniques is that photogrammetry can only be performed after data collection is complete, while VSLAM performs 3D digitisation at the speed of acquisition. This means that by leveraging VSLAM, tools available commercially such as Voyis’ Discovery Stereo vision system give users peace of mind that optimal data coverage has been achieved, while offering increased situational awareness of the subsea environment – when the user is running Voyis VSLAM Powered by EIVA NaviSuite.
How the VSLAM algorithm works
Voyis VSLAM Powered by EIVA NaviSuite estimates the camera's position by analysing consecutive input frames and finding matching key points to determine camera movement between poses. It leverages previous trajectory knowledge to enhance estimations. It detects loops in camera movement and optimises previous poses for improved accuracy.
