Smallest Subsea camera in the world!!

2010.11.28 - Technology

SLD just recently launched the smallest subsea camera in the world- Miniature Camera at the 2nd Optoelectronics Technologies for the Oil and Gas Industry technical meeting held in Aberdeen on the 4th November 2010. This high performance miniature camera system developed specifically for use in hard to reach areas, shows the ability to perform inspection on key spot where other cameras can not reach. The system provides a maximum flexibility for inspection of internal and external underwater facilities.

In applications involving high turbidity, the camera may be used with an Intelligent Turbid Imaging Software (IT IS), which has been developed to reduce the noise associated with turbid seawater in order to produce an enhanced image. When used in conjunction with the IT IS, the camera is able to capture useful images even in environments that are difficult for traditional SIT cameras.
