Starting in 2022, DeepSea began working with industry partners to develop a line of machine vision cameras tailored to the growing needs of subsea leaders in autonomy, machine learning, and AI.
These collaborations and listening campaigns have produced the new SmartSight® camera platform. The platform combines best-in-class machine vision components with DeepSea’s proven subsea imaging design capabilities.
The SmartSight® MV100 camera is the first in a new category of products from DeepSea designed to push the adoption and ease of implementation of machine vision systems into next-generation autonomous platforms. System architects now have an off-the-shelf solution to add computer vision components to their designs, freeing them up to focus on the value-add autonomy, object recognition, navigation, and inspection technology that sets them apart.
