Problem
Underwater infrastructure such as docks deteriorates unpredictably, leading to expensive, hazardous inspections by divers, and inconsistent reporting makes management difficult.
Solution
The solution involves a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) equipped with an advanced camera and software for user-operated underwater inspections, with results integrated into an online system for easy cataloging and annotation.
