Voyis has unveiled the Insight Nano, the newest addition to its line of compact underwater laser scanners.
by integrating user feedback with cutting-edge sensor technology, the Insight Nano delivers enhanced data resolution, quicker data acquisition, and improved control compared to its predecessors.
This compact yet sturdy device is designed to produce high-resolution 3D models in challenging underwater environments,furthering Voyis’s mission to “See the Depths like We See the Surface.”
Notable advancements in this latest model compared to earlier versions include:
- Enhanced Resolution
- New: 2064 points/line | Old: 480 points/line
- with a fourfold increase in points per line, users can expect significantly greater detail.This enhanced resolution empowers operators to make more informed decisions during underwater inspections, allowing for the detection of even the smallest imperfections such as cracks, scratches, or pitting.
- Accelerated Data Acquisition
- New: 35 Hz | old: 10 Hz
- The faster data acquisition rate enables users to capture laser profiles more swiftly, resulting in tighter resolution between profiles and the ability to conduct scans at higher speeds, thereby enhancing survey efficiency and confidence.
- Advanced Sensitivity Sensor
- The Insight Nano employs state-of-the-art CMOS technology with a quantum efficiency of 65%,facilitating quicker scans with shorter camera exposure times for superior laser line detection.
- Enhanced Durability
- New: 1000m | Old: 350m
- Engineered for the harshest conditions, the new Nano features dual seals on all interfaces, making it suitable for the most inaccessible locations. This upgraded design not only boosts the sensor’s resilience but also protects it from debris, with a sharper lip on the seal for added durability.
- Innovative Scanning Modes
- Precision Mode: This mode employs step-wise rotation to capture maximum detail for high precision.
- High-Speed Mode: Utilizing continuous rotation,this mode allows users to achieve comprehensive situational awareness in a shorter timeframe.
- Dynamic Scanning Mode: an optional feature typically used from a moving platform, this mode enables users to perform dynamic scans with third-party navigational sensors, generating geo-referenced results without the need for extensive manual stitching of point clouds.
- Refined User Interface
- The Insight Nano operates on the standard Voyis ViewLS software and Data Module, providing real-time dense data, enhanced control, and complete system status updates.This integration aligns the insight Nano with the company’s Insight Pro and Micro systems, allowing operators to customize settings for camera exposure, laser intensity, and scanning parameters.
- optimized Ambient Light Filtering
- The Insight nano features an advanced optical filter designed to effectively manage scanning in environments with ambient light. By focusing on wavelengths specific to the laser output and blocking extraneous noise, this innovation results in clearer 3D models with reduced interference from sunlight or artificial lighting.
