New ROS C460 Low Light Camera Offers

And Then there was Theseus Exceptional Sensitivity in Ultra-Low

As new technologies emerge, there will inevitably be leaps taken to push Light Conditions the envelope of what is possible. For under-ice AUVs one such leap was The- seus. Developed by International Sub- marine Engineering (ISE), Theseus was a 10.8m, 8,600kg giant, designed to lay up to 220km of ? ber optic cable in ice- covered waters.

Theseus implemented a layered and modi? able software architecture for real-time control. This system relied on

The new ROS Monochrome C460 Camera a fault detection and response system to offers outstanding performance in ultra low handle error events though the various light conditions as well as bright sunlight. Features stages of a mission. To handle the navi- -6 include a low light sensitivity of 5x10 lux gational requirements of such long dis- and a 570 TVL resolution. The C460 also features a
