RS Aqua and UVision Partner to Deliver Underwater 3D Imaging Technology to the Ocean Science Industry of the UK & Ireland

Ocean technology specialist RS Aqua today announces their new partnership with Copenhagen based technology firm, UVision.




The partnership identifies a new opportunity to bring expert underwater 3D imaging technology to the UK civil engineering industry, with affordability at the forefront. The UScanner is available to purchase from the 30th June from RS Aqua.

In a move to provide affordable underwater 3D scanning solutions to UK and Ireland markets, UVision remains true to its mission: To facilitate a future of better underwater visibility through expert camera tools.

“UVision is delighted to partner with RS Aqua to bring our advanced underwater 3D scanning technology to UK and Ireland, supporting RS Aqua’s mission to drive ocean discovery and exploration through cutting-edge marine innovation.

For RS Aqua’s customers, this means access to high-resolution 3D visualisation tools that simplify underwater inspection, enhance data quality and usability, and open new possibilities for infrastructure assessment, research, and monitoring across marine and civil engineering sectors” said Robert Coffey, CTO & Cofounder at UVision.

What is the UScanner by UVision?
By combining high-definition stills and positioning data, UScanner ensures efficient and reliable photorealistic 3D model generation for incredibly precise scans of harbour walls, civil engineering sites and more.

UScanner is designed to give users the best image possible. The UController software enables real-time Point Cloud rendering that helps guide the operator during recording, whilst the dual camera system’s global shutter sensor ensures all pixels are captured at the same time.

Post deployment, scans are processed using the UVisualiser cloud server. The post-processing phase is supervised by the UVision team, the inspection, measurement and annotation is then completed by the customer.
