Description
With a 120 degree field of view (10 degree tilt) and a fast update rate of 30Hz, the Gemini 720is sonar is ideal for poor visibility environments. Gemini 720is features a 720 kHz operating frequency and an integrated sound velocity sensor to assist in providing the sharpest image possible, with accurate ranging. Redesigned for ease of install onto a variety of ROVs, AUVs and other underwater platforms, the Gemini 720is operates through Ethernet or VDSL communications. The sonar’s compact size means that it can also be deployed using a pole-mount assembly (customer supplied).
Software
The Tritech Seanet Pro software package supports the Gemini 720is enabling a network of other Tritech sensors. A standalone Gemini software package is also available which offers users a tailored control and display interface including a click and track function and engineering measurement tools. Advanced SeeByte target tracking is also incorporated into this standard Gemini software package allowing the Gemini 720is to track multiple targets. Gemini software also has typical features common with Seanet Pro such as data recording/ playback, screen capture, range and gain control, colour palette selection, cursor reporting. A software development kit is available for autonomous vehicle operations.
Gemini SeaTec – Marine Object Tracking and Target Detection
There is the option to upgrade the standalone Gemini software to the Gemini SeaTec software for target tracking and classification applications.
Gemini SeaTec is specifically designed to detect objects and subsequently, classify targets accordingly.
Housing changes can be made to suit specific deployment requirements.
