What do we mean by 3D?
Benefits of 3D• Easy overview
• Fast, shared understanding
• Shareable
• Impossible views
• Context
• Measurement• Properly assess condition.
• Comparison• Year-on-year change.
• Pre/post install
• As-built records
• Pretty Pictures

3D Enables the Future
• The future is AI powered autonomous survey.
• 3D perception tells us where things are, and what size.
• Machine Learning tells us what we’re looking at.
• Planning tells us how to capture the data we need and where
to go.
• Autonomy will be a gradual thing
• People won’t suddenly be replaced by robots.
• But it will happen eventually!
What is Artificial Intelligence?
•Perception
•Memory
•Reasoning
•Planning
•Prediction
AUV 3D – Live Scaled 3D
• Hardware and software for live 3D vision.
• Cutting edge sensors and compute.
• Evaluation trials Summer 2018.
IVAS – Intelligent Video Analytics for Subsea
• Deep learning to extract meaningful information from video.
• Repeatable, reliable video analysis.
• Exploiting cutting edge research.
Getting the Job Done
• If measurement and visualisation is the job for 3D, what’s the job for IVAS?
• Automating the boring and error prone.
• Generating actionable data.

Summary
• 3D isn’t just pretty pictures.
• Better measurement = lower risk.
• Rovco offer high quality 3D as an add-on to our normal survey
and inspection work.
• 3D isn’t just the tech.
• It’s about capturing the data efficiently
• It’s about delivering the data to the client.
• 3D from vision gives freedom to meet detail requirements.
• The process, and cost, that’s right for the job.
• The future is not just standard video survey.
• We’re gearing up to trial advanced AI now.
• Check out our models online, or at our stand.
