Underwater 3D Imaging: Introducing the C3 Stereo Camera

We are excited to introduce a significant advancement in underwater sensing capabilities: the MarineSitu C3 Stereo Camera – a cutting-edge imaging system that combines advanced hardware with powerful data processing.

How Does It Work? The Power of Three

Unlike conventional stereo camera systems, the C3 operates using a triple-camera configuration.
This unique design provides wider coverage, data redundancy, and exceptional accuracy in distance calculations – reducing optical distortions that commonly occur in underwater environments.

From Image to Engineering Model

The C3 does more than capture video. It generates a dense, high-accuracy point cloud in real time, enabling the creation of:

  • 3D Models
    Full reconstruction of objects and seabed surfaces.

  • Area & Volume Measurements
    Precise geometric calculations with minimal post-processing.

  • Digital Twins
    Creation of digital replicas of underwater assets for long-term monitoring and comparison.

Key Applications

Scientific Research
Measurement of biomass (fish size and weight), monitoring growth rates of sponge and coral reefs, and high-resolution mapping of underwater archaeological sites.

Marine & Offshore Industry
Inspection of energy and gas infrastructure, assessment of wear and corrosion on subsea structures, and engineering verification of underwater construction works in ports and harbors.

By integrating the C3, the ROV is transformed from a visual inspection tool into a powerful underwater measurement system, allowing us to deliver more accurate and quantitative results than ever before.
