The BlueRobotics MarineSitu C3 Stereo Camera is an advanced underwater imaging device designed for marine robotics and research applications. It features a sophisticated stereo vision system that captures both depth information and high-resolution color imagery. The camera is equipped with a pair of stereo cameras to accurately perceive depth, complemented by a central color camera that delivers high-resolution images. This setup is encased in a robust housing capable of withstanding depths of up to 1000 meters, making it suitable for deep-sea exploration and research tasks.
The camera's design incorporates a Luxonis Oak-D W PoE model, ensuring reliable performance in demanding underwater environments. The central camera utilizes an IMX378 sensor, while the stereo pair employs OV9282 sensors, providing a comprehensive imaging solution. The color camera offers a resolution of 12 megapixels, while the stereo pair cameras deliver 1 megapixel each, ensuring detailed and precise image capture.
The MarineSitu C3 is engineered to operate efficiently with a maximum frame rate of 60 frames per second for the color camera and 120 frames per second for the stereo cameras, under optimal bandwidth conditions. Typical operation involves lower frame rates, which are sufficient for most research and exploration needs. The camera's field of view is carefully calibrated, with distinct parameters for the central and stereo cameras, allowing for versatile imaging capabilities across various underwater scenarios.
Powering the camera requires an input voltage range of 12 to 24 volts, with a nominal power consumption of 3 watts, peaking at 5 watts. Connectivity is facilitated through a 1000BASE-T Ethernet interface, necessitating a gigabit switch for optimal bandwidth consumption. The camera's construction includes durable materials such as POM, quartz lens, stainless steel 316, polyurethane, aluminum, and Buna N, ensuring longevity and resistance to harsh underwater conditions.
Note: Ensure proper handling and installation to maintain the integrity of the camera's waterproof housing and prevent damage during operation.
