Revolutionizing Underwater Operations: QYSEA’s Innovative AI Vision Lock System

Key Takeaways:

• QYSEA’s compact ROVs address efficiency challenges in underwater tasks.
• The new AI Vision Lock technology enhances target tracking and operational precision.
• Applications span across sectors, including rescue missions, infrastructure inspections, offshore energy, and aquaculture.

In recent years, QYSEA has carved out a niche in the realm of underwater technology with its advanced compact ROVs (remotely operated underwater vehicles). These innovative machines have been instrumental in tackling technical challenges and efficiency issues faced in professional small-scale underwater operations, including high-definition filming, deep-sea inspections, and operational tasks.

Despite the continuous advancements in shooting capabilities, mobility, and power, the ability to visually lock onto subjects underwater has long been a significant hurdle. Recognizing this demand, QYSEA’s engineering team has taken strides forward through groundbreaking research, culminating in the launch of an AI-based vision platform that endows its FIFISH Underwater Robots with unprecedented active visual locking capabilities.

A Leap Forward in Underwater Technology

The newly developed QYSEA AI Platform comprises a suite of adaptive vision and position locking systems designed for all FIFISH ROVs. Notable among these features is the AI Vision Lock system, which allows users to simply tap on a target on their mobile app screen. In response, the ROV smoothly adjusts its position, ensuring that the selected target remains centered within the frame.

Once the AI Vision Lock is activated, a range of intelligent functionalities is made available. These features enhance operational efficiency and better handle underwater currents, ensuring that users can maintain focus on selected subjects. If the ROV’s position—such as pitch or direction—is altered due to external factors, the system will intuitively readjust to realign with the original focal point.

Advanced Navigation Technology

A key component of QYSEA’s AI platform is its Dead Reckoning Inertial Navigation System (DR-INS). This technology leverages built-in accelerometers and gyroscopes within the FIFISH ROVs to assess acceleration and angular velocity. As a result, the system effectively estimates and calculates the position and motion of subjects, providing stabilized real-time target locking. While traditional applications for this technology include aircraft and submarines, QYSEA stands out as a pioneer in its adaptation specifically for ROVs.

Diverse Applications Across Industries

The potential applications for the AI Vision Lock system extend far beyond the marine industry’s current standards. For instance, in emergency rescue scenarios, rapid target identification is crucial. The FIFISH ROV, equipped with 2D imaging sonar and AI Vision Lock, provides swift and accurate visual tracking, drastically reducing the time spent on manual monitoring and freeing divers to focus on life-saving missions.

Infrastructure inspections, such as those for highways and bridges, also benefit significantly from this technology. The FIFISH ROV can be deployed efficiently into water bodies to conduct inspections, effortlessly locking onto damaged areas for quick assessment and repair coordination. Moreover, the integration of AR Ruler attachments allows operators to measure damages with unprecedented accuracy, streamlining repair processes.

Furthermore, in the context of offshore wind power, the need for diligent maintenance and inspections is critical. The AI Vision Lock system empowers operators to thoroughly examine and detect issues in structural foundations, even under challenging conditions. By maintaining a firm lock on their targets, ROVs offer unmatched stability crucial for inspections in rough waters.

Finally, QYSEA’s compact ROVs have made a positive impact in aquaculture, an industry experiencing rapid growth in China. The integration of AI Vision Lock facilitates efficient monitoring and repair of fishnets—significantly reducing both human risk and reliance on labor-intensive practices.

With continuous improvements and groundbreaking innovations, QYSEA is reshaping the landscape of underwater operational capabilities, heralding a new era for professionals and enthusiasts alike.
