CERULEAN / 3D RECONSTRUCTION

Omniscan 3D

From acoustic return to underwater geometry.

A system for building point clouds and three-dimensional representations of the seabed and structures during scanning.

THE SYSTEM IN PRACTICE

How it fits
your work.

Omniscan 3D combines a 450 kHz transducer and a 16-channel receiver to estimate the vertical angle of targets. Sensor movement, through translation or rotation, progressively builds the point cloud: it is not an instantaneous volumetric image.

SonarView displays the seabed as a 3D surface and water-column targets as points. We assess the system by starting with your targets, the path and the available position and orientation references.

01

Seabed and structures

A geometric view for investigating submerged shapes and vertical obstacles.

02

Complete AIO system

Integrated onboard processing and Ethernet switch; no additional beamforming computer required.

03

Updating existing systems

Modular solutions require a specific assessment of installed hardware and software.

A MANUFACTURER EXAMPLE

Read the scene in three dimensions.

Cerulean example: 3D seabed surface and a point cloud of piles and vegetation
Example from the official Omniscan 3D documentation: seabed surface and points representing piles and vegetation in the water column. This illustrates the type of output, not a mission or qualification carried out by SORS.

Versions and configurations

AIO · new system

Self-contained unit with integrated Raspberry Pi 5 and switch. Cerulean specifies this configuration for a new installation.

Discuss this configuration →

450 SS Modular

One unit for one side, two for both. Requires a Linux computer and an Omniscan 450 board in an additional watertight enclosure; BlueOS or Docker integration must be configured.

Discuss this configuration →

RX16 upgrade

Upgrade for current Omniscan SS, FS or Compact systems, subject to checks of electronics, processing, networking and mounting. It is not a universal plug-and-play accessory.

Discuss this configuration →

Cerulean Sonar

Accessories selected together

Connectors and brackets

Blue Trail or WetLink termination and the mount, including the BlueBoat mount where applicable, are selected together with the variant.
