MicroBathymetric (MB) Systems for Offshore
In the fall of 2007, BlueView formed a strategic business unit focused on supporting offshore Oil and Gas operations. By delivering next-generation underwater vision solutions, BlueView believes it has a unique opportunity to succeed in an
industry where saving hours can result in substantial dollar savings. These savings show up both on-site through increased operational efficiency and off-site by providing a new level of 2D and 3D data quality during decision making processes. Recently, BlueView has brought to market a new line of underwater

acoustic line scanners referred to as MicroBathymetric (MB) systems. These systems are designed to create detailed 3D renderings of complex underwater structures and sea bottomThese high-resolution renderings save significant time by accelerating reliable project decisions and reducing planning errors that can arise from incomplete data and models. Laser line scanners are commonly used for generating 3D renderings of land based structures, but due to optical attenuation, have limited range in murky water conditions. BlueView's acoustic line scanners can produce similar high-resolution data underwater without the range and turbidity limitations associated with optical systems. These systems also operate much like traditional bathymetric sonar except at much higher frequencies (MHz region) and much higher resolutions. These acoustic line scanners, which can be deployed from ROV, surface vessels, tripods, and even the smallest UUV, are poised to revolutionize the underwater 3D mapping and rendering market. BlueView's MB products interface with most of the leading bathymetry software packages used today, making them a drop in replacement or augment for traditional bathymetry systems.
