SubSlam Technology

Through our partnership with Vaarst, BSS is able to offer real-time subsea 3D imagery and metrology, saving clients time and money while providing their asset integrity groups with predictive maintenance capabilities.

SubSLAM tracks relative position accurately without relying on any external sensors. This means construction and metrology projects can be initiated without the need for COMPATTs or time-intensive LBL array setups. Our SubSLAM System can replace INS or other metrology techniques, completing measurements in a fraction of the time.

What’s more, our live 3D data can be streamed to any device anywhere in the world over VSAT satellite bandwidths using Vaarst’s Data Platform.

Live 3D Streaming Benefits and Features
  • Shorter project durations, reducing vessel days 
  • Enables Machine Learning and AI at the edge 
  • Perfect relative positioning without USBL, LBL or INS 
  • Live 3D reconstructions with proven mm accuracy 
  • Instant 3D data streamed to any device anywhere 
  • No additional sensors or scale bars required
  • 4K machine vision sensors to future proof data collection
