In-situ preview of captured underwater cave imagery

Robotic gigapixel spherical imager ready for deployment in a flooded cave system (Hoyo Negro, Mexico)

 

Some of the capabilities include:

Capable of taking full spherical images with up to 100s of gigapixlels

  • Can use a DSLR, scientific imager, thermal, IR, UV or other camera or even multiple imagers at once
  • Synchronizes with flashes or other lighting sources
  • Can run entirely autonomously, no human interaction needed
  • Can be operated by an iPhone or iPad for live previewing and setup
  • Advanced software features such as automatic person detection and removal (by reshooting the frame) are in progress
  • Usable underwater (200' deep with current system)
  • Integration with our 3D scanning prototype in progress to allow simultaneous gigapixel spherical imaging and 3D scanning of an environment

Spherical Imaging

Tuatara Systems has developed a robotic camera system capable of taking some of the highest resolution images in the world. The system has gone through several revisions and is currently being packaged for underwater deployment.

Unlike other gigapixel imaging systems out there, our robotic camera was designed to adapt to almost any application. The Tuatara Systems robotic camera system is not for sale, but we are happy to provide researchers, conservationists, and cultural preservation organizations with the capabilities that it affords .
