With the aging of offshore subsea assets, it is very important to plan and maintain the longevity of structures, equipment, and systems. Inspection, maintenance, and repair (IMR) of subsea structures are key components of an overall integrity management system that aims to reduce the risk of failure and extend the life of installations. The acquisition of very detailed data during the inspection phase is a technological challenge, especially since offshore installations are sometimes deployed in extreme conditions (e.g., depth, hydrodynamics, visibility). After a review of high resolution mapping techniques for underwater environment, this article will focus on optical sensors that can satisfy the requirements of the offshore industry by assessing their relevance and degree of maturity. These requirements concern the resolution and accuracy but also cost, ease of implementation, and qualification. With the evolution of embedded computing resources, in-vehicle optical survey solutions are becoming increasingly important in the landscape of large-scale mapping solutions and more and more off-the-shelf systems are now available.

  • Chapter 6 Underwater Photography
    Chapter 6 Underwater Photography It is hard to imagine a more difficult endeavor than taking pictures underwater. You have to be at least partially crazy to get involved in it, and if you are not crazy when you start, it is virtually guaranteed to make you crazy. First, you have to learn to survive in an alien environment. Before you even think about the highly specialized photographic equipment required, you have to learn how to safely breathe and move about underwater. That means you have to become a certified diver. The most important qualification required to become a good underwater photographer is to be a good diver. You can’t worry about things like f- stops, depth of field, shutter speeds, exposure, point of focus, and other technical photographic stuff if you are not comfortable underwater. Things like breath and buoyancy control, awareness of time, depth and tank air pressure, must become second nature, like shifting while driving a car with a manual transmission. Underwater photography, even with excellent diving skills, state-of-the-art equipment, and plentiful subjects, is still a very low batting average endeavor. You fail much more often than you succeed. That means that you discard a lot more images than you keep. But the occasional “keeper” can make up for all the throwaways. Underwater photography offers the highest highs, and the lowest lows of any endeavor I know. Everything in underwater photography is stacked against success. First, unlike taking pictures topside, you have a very limited amount of time to capture your image (before you have to surface or drown.) Whatever underwater subject you are seeking on each dive, you have to find it in less than an hour, you can’t hang around all day waiting for something to appear.

  • 5 Top Tips for Underwater Photography
    5 Top Tips for Underwater Photography PUBLISHED - 31 JUL 2016 Make waves with your photography this summer by going underneath them with your camera… 1) Play it safe COOLPIX AW130 First and foremost, never swim, snorkel or Scuba dive beyond your abilities. Second, keep your kit safe, too. While most cameras won't thank you for taking a dip with them, Nikon has several waterproof COOLPIX models, including the AW130 (waterproof down to 30m – the same as an advanced open-water diving qualification) and W100 (waterproof to 10m), while the Nikon 1 AW1 is waterproof to 15m. You can also buy waterproof cases for Nikon 1 cameras, enabling them to dive with you down to an impressive 45m – about the depth of the Straits of Dover! If you're very keen, invest in a bespoke underwater casing for your DSLR – expensive but worth every penny if this is an area you really want to get into. 2) Use underwater mode. 1 of 4 The deeper underwater you go, the less colourful things appear, as the coloured wavelengths of light are gradually filtered out: red disappears first at around 5m, followed by orange (10m), yellow (20m), green (30m) and blue at 60m. What this means is that, without correcting for it, whatever you shoot will tend to look greeny-blue. Unless you're shooting extremely close up, don't try to combat this with on-camera flash, as that will light up the myriad tiny floating particles in the water (believe us, they're there, and even if your eyes don't see them, your camera will).
