Abstract

Remotely Operated Vehicles have been used in underwater exploration for many years. At the same time, 3D video and photo technology has been improving, allowing the user to better perceive the third dimension. This work presents the hardware development of a 3D video system integrated in a commercial ROV, able to bring to the surface the stereo vision in real time. An opportune interface has been implemented, displaying videos and a model of the robot which moves proportionally to data perceived by its sensors. The work has been almost completed and have found resounding success among the final users.
