About the Company
Ocean Visuals is a specialist company in hyper-spectral LiDAR sensor systems for early detection and classification of oil and organics in water. The startups patented HLIF-based OWL™ technology delivers real-time data from the air, surface, and subsea. By combining advanced photonics with intelligent data processing, it provides operators with clearer situational awareness and more informed decision-making in marine and offshore environments.
About the Solution
The OWL™ sensor suite uses Hyper-Spectral Laser-Induced Fluorescence (HLIF) LiDAR to detect, classify, and quantify oil and organic matter in real time. Data from SEA OWL™, AIR OWL™, and ELF OWL™ sensors is streamed into the OWL™ MAP platform, where it is contextualized with environmental information for continuous monitoring, early warning, and analysis. Aggregated datasets can support machine learning, data fusion, and predictive modeling, enabling more effective oil-in-water monitoring and response.
