What This Section Covers
Each post takes up a single aspect of the ongoing work and places it in a technical context. Three categories structure the list — the filter above switches between them.
Technology
Methods and sensors: what ROV optics, multibeam sonar and position-referenced telemetry achieve in an actual deployment, how they work together and where their limits lie. These posts answer the question of how a finding comes about in the first place.
Applications
Concrete tasks and what is handed over at the end: the contents of an inspection data package, diver-free location and recovery, results from survey and mapping. The focus here is the benefit to the client rather than the technology.
Knowledge
Context on documentation, verifiability and fitness for authorities — the bridge from the recording under water to a usable file. These posts address readers who will later have to defend a finding to third parties.
News or Knowledge Hub?
The posts here are deliberately short and each deals with one aspect. The full technical treatment — method comparisons, damage classes, documentation standards and decision aids — sits in the knowledge hub. Where a post touches on a larger subject, it points there.
Which service lies behind a post is shown in the service spectrum; the matching sector perspective is in the sector overview. For a concrete project, the ScanSustain process is the right entry point.
