Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring underwater structures are provided. First and second sets of point cloud data that are obtained at different times are compared to determine whether the location of the underwater structure has changed. For detecting vibration, a series of range measurements taken along a line intersecting the underwater structure are compared to one another to determine an amplitude and frequency of any vibration present in the underwater structure. For detecting temperature, the ratio of different components of return signals obtained from a point in the water surrounding the underwater structure is measured to derive the temperature of the water. Leak detection can be performed by scanning areas around the underwater structure. Monitoring systems can include a primary receiver for range measurements, and first and second temperature channel receivers for temperature measurements.

Abstract: Described herein are methods and devices for improved location of any and all underwater structures or equipment installed underwater. In particular, systems are disclosed that combine optical and acoustic metrology for locating objects in underwater environments. The systems allow for relative positions of objects to be determined with great accuracy using optical techniques, and support enhanced location of devices that utilize acoustic location techniques. In addition, location information can be provided by the system even in conditions that make optical metrology techniques impossible or impractical.

Abstract: Methods and systems for improved inspection, measurements, mapping, monitoring, and trending of underwater infrastructure that contains or are located in fluids, and/or that is difficult to access. The methods and systems include a housing containing a light source, a hollow core motor, a reflector, and a pressure tolerant window. The light source is disposed to pass output light along a path that passes through an axis of rotation of the hollow core motor to the reflector. The reflector rotates about the axis of rotation of the motor and operates to reflect the light at an angle to the rotation axis. In at least some embodiments, the light is passed through a full 360 degrees about the axis of rotation. The described methods and devices utilize one or more non-touch underwater optical system (including laser systems) for underwater equipment and infrastructure inspection, measurements, mapping, monitoring, trending, and maintenance.
