EIVA outlines how its ROV control and inspection software, NaviSuite Mobula, was applied in a DTU Aqua case study to support automated seabed mapping for marine habitat protection. Using a BlueROV2 Heavy ROV equipped with a Teledyne RD Instruments Wayfinder DVL and additional communication hardware, alongside NaviSuite Mobula Pro + Processing, the team established a complete survey platform integrating mission planning, vehicle control, and post-processing. In a single 22-minute dive, the setup was used to map more than 2,500 m2 of seabed, meeting one of the key criteria for classification as a biogenic reef. The collected data was processed in NaviModel, where video outputs were converted into still images for analysis. ➡️ Visit the Ocean Science Technology website for further information. 🔗 Read more >> https://hubs.la/Q0492LqG0 EIVA a/s
