Voyis, a leader in underwater optical systems, has partnered with EIVA to launch the latest version of Voyis VSLAM Powered by EIVA NaviSuite, version 1.3. This update represents a significant advancement in real-time subsea mapping, offering a revolutionary 3D visualization experience through the use of voxel-based rendering and stereo vision technologies.

Enhanced 3D Mapping Engine

Version 1.3 introduces a cutting-edge voxel-based 3D mapping engine that enables real-time textured visualizations of inspection environments. By projecting the ROV camera’s field of view onto the real-time 3D map, operators gain a highly intuitive view of subsea scenes, providing unparalleled spatial context and navigational confidence during visual inspections.

Improved Visualization

The new default visualization overlays the system’s real-time depth map onto a structured voxel-based 3D map, allowing ROV pilots to instantly see where the camera is looking within the environment. This feature supports more efficient movement, better scene coverage, and easier gap-filling, particularly in complex subsea structures like pipelines and infrastructure.

Point Cloud Engine

Version 1.3 utilizes a real-time point cloud engine with voxel modeling, enabling a minimum resolution of 2.5 cm. The voxel format reduces noise by aggregating multiple stereo measurements within each voxel, resulting in cleaner visuals and faster map updates.

Proactive Data Analysis

ROV pilots can now identify data gaps in real time, allowing them to adjust their trajectory before resurfacing. This proactive approach minimizes rework, enhances inspection quality, and ensures comprehensive scene documentation on the first pass.

Availability

Voyis VSLAM Powered by EIVA NaviSuite 1.3 will be globally available to existing users starting in late July 2025. The latest VSLAM capabilities will also be showcased live at EIVA Demo Days on September 24–25, 2025, in Aarhus, Denmark.
