Our data products

Our fully-automated software pipelines extract a wide range of data products from the same dataset in just hours, tailored to your specific needs and markets through the use of hyperspectral and RGB imaging, geo-referencing, and AI.

Orthoimagery

We produce high-resolution, geo-referenced stitched maps of the seafloor (1x1 mm accuracy), which serve as the foundation for our other data products. Our automated processes eliminate distortions caused by the water column, delivering crystal-clear maps.

Health

We visualize the health of the seafloor with our hyperspectral data. Through a range of (pre-determined) indices, we can for example highlight the productivity of seagrass meadows (i.e., chlorophyll).

Ecosystem stressors

We visualize ecosystem stressors, by highlighting early indicator species. Using hyperspectral data, we can for example detect microbal mats even before they become visible to the human eye or standard cameras.

Biodiversity

We leverage hyperspectral data to provide significantly more information per pixel compared to standard RGB cameras and LiDAR. This enables us to identify a wide array of genera and species on the seafloor, including reef builders, indicator species, invasive species, and ecosystem engineers

Carbon Stock

We quantify the carbon stored in seafloor organisms, such as seagrasses, based on their biomass, and use this to estimate the carbon content within the seafloor itself as well.

Biomass

We measure biomass of the benthic substrate on the seafloor, which is based on parameters such as Leaf Area Index, shoot density, coverage and canopy height.

How we deliver key seafloor intelligence to you:

High-resolution image recording

We have overcome numerous technical challenges to deliver crystal-clear results.

Every pixel is 3D

Our system collects a wealth of data without the need for sub-sampling, ensuring that every pixel contributes to delivering precise results tailored to your requirements.

Quality control in the field

Our FieldGuide tablet app enables
on-site, instant quality control of data, allowing efficient mapping of the area.

Time-to-data

Through automation, we reduce analysis time
from months or days to just hours, enabling rapid decision-making (and fast intervention).

Objective results

Our AI-driven annotation libraries accurately identify seafloor properties, eliminating the need for human intervention both in-field and during analysis, ensuring consistent and objective data.

Geo-referenced data for precise time series

Our underwater navigation sensors facilitate accurate site revisits, enhancing project credibility and transparency. We visualize the progress and success of your nature-positive operations over time.
