Run your NaviSuite software products onboard your AUV/USV with this data acquisition and processing platform

The NaviSuite – Onboard Computer is a small Microsoft Windows electronics board. It is designed for data acquisition and processing on autonomous platforms such as AUVs and USVs, this means it functions reliably even when operating in challenging environments.

The onboard computer is a fanless 15W / 12V Intel quad-core (8 threads) computer running Windows 10 IoT. It includes 1 TB SSD, 2 * 1 gbit NIC, 2 COM ports, 4 USB ports and 12 V DC power. Consequently, it offers a good balance between relatively low power consumption and high processing power.

The board has been integrated in several autonomous platforms successfully, and if needed, EIVA is happy to assist with platform integration support as an optional add-on. Software integration support is included. The following NaviSuite products can be installed on this onboard computer:

NaviSuite Kuda Core (+ Processing)
NaviSuite Kuda Pro (+ Processing)
Workflow Manager – Server or Desktop
NaviSuite Nardoa

Usage examples

Remote control: NaviSuite Kuda Core/Pro (+ Processing) runs on the onboard computer, allowing for full front-end remote access via IP, such as through Remote Desktop and TeamViewer – as well as using the NaviSuite IP remote control access for configuration and real-time data QC and control.

Background processing: The NaviSuite Workflow Manager – Desktop variant runs on the onboard computer without a user interface, carrying out real-time QC (quality control) of data, thus offering savings on processing time when combined with an additional Workflow Manager – Desktop licence installed on the topside/vessel.

Please note: Price is per board and does not include any NaviSuite licences. The computer is delivered with the most recent Windows version supported by the platform provider – and EIVA can furthermore install NaviSuite software licences purchased in addition to the onboard computer, if informed when the order is placed.

Sonar cleaning
Point data derived from sonar or laser systems can be cleaned, QC’d and edited using a plethora of manual or automatic tools. Cleaning operations can be applied multiple times to a complete data set or user-defined areas. For each cleaning operation, quality flags are assigned to every data point, so you never lose access to the original raw data.

EC-3D DTM

EC-3D supports several cleaning methods and is efficient at cleaning both 3D and 2D data.

It can be used to clean seabed DTMs.

EC-3D Pipeline
EC-3D can be used to clean pipeline DTMs.

EC-3D point cloud cleaning
EC-3D can be used to clean point clouds.

EC-3D Automated
EC-3D can be used to automatically clean point clouds or DTMs.

Histogram Spike Shooting
Histogram Spike Shooting can be used to reject or accept DTM points.
Points are selected if they are inside a circle.
Histogram automatically sets the rejection thresholds (can be manually over-ruled).

Histogram Plane Cleaning
Histogram Plane Cleaning tool can be used to reject or accept DTM points.
Points are selected if they are inside a corridor, polygon or an existing boundary.
Histogram automatically sets the rejection thresholds (can be manually over-ruled).

Reject & Accept Points
These tools can be used to reject or accept DTM points.
Points are selected if they are inside a corridor, polygon or an existing boundary.

Point Editor
Point Editor can be used to manually reject or accept DTM points using an eraser (square select) or a region (polygon select). This tool will soon be replaced with a newer version within NaviModel.
Automatic data processing tool
Save time on data processing by automating your workflow – using NaviSuite Workflow Manager, designed to enable a previously unseen degree of automatic data processing of massive amounts of subsea sensor data.

AUV processing workflow
The first version of the Workflow Manager utilises NaviEdit and NaviModel for a traditional survey data set processing of data from AUV dive. As soon as the data is available, it is automatically loaded into the flow and processed by cleaning data, merging reprocessed AUV track, building DTMs and making sanity checks. This is typically done using the Server version.

NaviSuite Kuda processing workflow
The Workflow Manager desktop version is very well suited for NaviSuite Kuda operations where each file will be processed right after recording, thus enabling reporting and quality control as you go. The Desktop version runs one task at the time – but it is more than fast enough to cope with survey speed.

Execute multiple parallel NaviEdit, NaviModel and 3rd party commands
The more CPU (cores), memory and disk speed you have – the better you utilise the workflow engine. The optimal solution is running a bit fewer processes than the number of cores.
