Underwater acoustic images and videos in real-time by NUS Tropical Marine Science Institute-Acoustic Research Lab (ARL) |
Remotely Operated Mobile Ambient Noise Imaging System (ROMANIS) is a 2D acoustic camera built by the Acoustic Research Laboratory of the National University of Singapore for imaging underwater objects. Sampling at 200 kHz per channel and with more than 500 channels this system spits out data at an astonishing rate of 1.6 Gbps. Complex, yet innovative beamforming and image processing algorithms operating under CUDA-capable GPU environment, have helped to produce acoustic images and videos from this camera in near real-time.
