Voyis Imaging Inc, a leader in high-resolution underwater imaging solutions, announced several significant advancements this year that are set to improve subsea operations for defense, conservation, and survey purposes within the maritime sector.
Voyis Highlights Innovation at REPMUS 2025
At REPMUS 2025, NATO's premier exercise for unmanned maritime systems held in Portugal, Voyis showcased its underwater optical sensors and imaging solutions. This event brought together navies, researchers, technology providers, and technology users from across Europe to test advancements in maritime autonomy, with emphasis placed upon security and situational awareness.
Voyis VSLAM Powered by EIVA NaviSuite was equipped with data quality controls for survey coverage, augmented piloting for spatial awareness, and real-time optical enhancement for clearer imaging. This system proved particularly beneficial in turbid waters - crucial when making time-sensitive naval decisions - while Discovery Stereo Camera captured high-resolution images of an octopus, demonstrating its detail for marine life observation beyond defense purposes.
The Italian Navy demonstrated the value of Voyis technology by fielding an unmanned underwater vehicle equipped with an imaging payload from Voyis called REMUS UUV with Voyis imaging payload, designed to carry out inspections, awareness and mission validation without crewed assets; thereby prioritizing safety and efficiency in complex environments.
Project Completion Advances Marine Conservation
Voyis successfully completed its IMAGE2 project, funded by Fisheries and Oceans Canada, in July 2025. Building on the original initiative, Voyis created an affordable ROV-based subsea survey solution designed for monitoring Sponge Reef Marine Protected Areas off British Columbia.
Partnering with MarineNav Ltd. and Memorial University Fisheries and Marine Institute, this team successfully combined MarineNav's Oceanus ROV with Voyis Discovery Stereo Camera to produce high-resolution video, stills, and true scale 3D seafloor models that accurately evaluate coral health, habitats and reef health assessments.
The built-in-Canada platform sets a standard for marine science fieldwork in shallow, complex waters, encouraging data-driven conservation through industry and academic collaboration.
Deep Vision Optics Launch to Advance ROV and AUV Imaging
Voyis introduced Deep Vision Optics in June 2025 as part of their Discovery Vision and Observer Imaging Systems, offering dome viewport and water medium distortion correction in order to eliminate corner blur, boost overall sharpness, and expand depth of field.
These improvements maximize field-of-view use, situational awareness, and survey capabilities of remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). Their enhanced sharpness helps support machine learning, photogrammetry, VSLAM stability for precise automated inspections.
Geo-Located Mapping Update with EIVA
Voyis and EIVA, two brands owned by Covelya Group, recently collaborated to release Voyis VSLAM Powered by EIVA NaviSuite to deliver real-time, absolute geolocated 3D reconstruction for mission starts. This aligns camera point clouds to global coordinates as soon as they enter mission start by using EIVA's geodesy tools for alignment purposes.
Benefits of overlaying maps, charts or models with absolute coordinates to enhance awareness; marking targets using absolute coordinates for easy ROV navigation; cross-dive continuity; faster data interpretation and streamlining offshore workflows are just a few advantages to take note of.
Discover Stereo Camera on Lake Ontario Shipwreck Expedition
Voyis announced its participation in a NOAA-led Lake Ontario National Marine Sanctuary expedition on August 6, 2025. Utilizing its Discovery Stereo Camera and VSLAM system, Voyis captured first-ever images of a newly discovered shipwreck, plus real-time 3D maps of others.
Provide true-color HD imagery and precise navigation capabilities, this technology ensured full coverage without repeat dives, unveiling details previously unseen in structural details previously unseen by divers.
New Service Offerings for Customer Support
Voyis introduced professional services for underwater visual surveys and photogrammetry as well as programs enhancing Discovery Stereo Vision's performance and reliability, further strengthening customer experiences within subsea operations.
Voyis stands at the forefront of maritime autonomy, providing naval forces, researchers and conservation initiatives with reliable underwater intelligence that supports them effectively.
