ACOUSTICS

How does our Underwater Acoustic Systems work?

Many marine species use underwater sounds to communicate, find mates, stay safe, and navigate. Cetaceans (whales, dolphins, porpoises, and others) use sound like we use sight. When underwater sound is produced by human activities, it can overwhelm the sounds of the natural environment and affect the behavior of marine species, even causing serious disturbances.

Underwater noise that can cause these disturbances to marine mammals can be caused by oil and gas exploration, construction, shipping (propeller noise, engine noise, etc.), some port activities, military sonars, and deep-sea mining—drilling on the seafloor. We call this “anthropogenic noise.” The activation of a set of our acoustic deterrent devices called “Pingers”, which allow the animals to be removed from a defined area, isolating it for underwater work, military exercises, high-power sonar tests, acoustic surveys, etc.
Reducing the environmental impact.

PHOTONICS
COMPUTER VISION

Spectral signatures show the variation in radiation reflected by objects as a function of wavelength. This physical behavior can be taken into account in multispectral analysis to identify specific elements in aerial images. In this way, by analyzing operating channels and their reflectance levels, we can photointerpret and work on the basis of remote sensing.
Image segmentation is a technique used in visual computing to divide an image into different regions or segments, facilitating object detection, classification tasks, and applications in diverse fields such as computer vision, Defense, Robotics, and Medical.

This precise segmentation is critical for many visual AI applications, such as object recognition, pattern detection, video surveillance, autonomous navigation, and more.
