Inventors of a video camera that shot three-dimensional underwater images to assist efforts to repair the ruptured oil well in the Gulf of Mexico will showcase their technology at the upcoming Univation<\/strong><\/a> event.<\/p>\n

Andrew Woods, a Western Australian Energy Research Alliance Research Fellow with Curtin’s Centre for Marine Science and Technology will give insights into the range of 3D cameras being developed by University spin-off company Deep Vision 3D<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Canadian oil and gas service company Welaptega Marine has eight Deep Vision 3D cameras, two of which were deployed to the Gulf to help assess damage to the oil well.<\/p>\n

Mr Woods said Univation would see the company demonstrate its capability to potential business partners – which could help expand the cameras’ use in the oil and gas industry.<\/p>\n

“We are also looking for partners to help develop a high definition version of the camera,” he said.<\/p>\n

“Our third objective is to deploy the technology more widely in terrestrial mining for controlling remote mining equipment.”<\/p>\n

A specific application is in improving the safety of mining machinery such as front-end loaders.<\/p>\n

Mr Woods said that 3D cameras mounted at the back and front of loaders would help operators better assess obstacles and terrain than with current 2D cameras.<\/p>\n

“Our 3D camera exploits the natural binocular vision a human is born with,” he said.<\/p>\n

The 3D cameras’ two lenses capture left and right perspective views which provide the user with greater accuracy, safety, and speed of operation.<\/p>\n

To be held on November 3 and 4, Univation<\/strong><\/a> will showcase the brightest commercialisation prospects from WA’s four public universities.<\/p>\n

The underwater 3D video camera is also a finalist in the WA Innovator of the Year Awards<\/strong><\/a> whose winners will be announced on the last day of Univation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
