HydroEye

A diver-portable subsea perception platform built to capture the data required for underwater inspection, analysis, and machine intelligence.

MotherBear Marine HydroEye subsea perception platform

01 — Overview

Designed for the underwater field.

HydroEye brings stereo imaging, illumination, physical control, data acquisition, and subsea packaging into a portable system designed around the diver.

The platform begins as a robust data-collection tool and creates a pathway toward increasingly automated underwater recognition, analysis, and robotic perception.

Field Tested

HydroEye in the wild.

Field Validated

Built in the lab.
Proven in the water.

HydroEye has been developed through extensive real-world underwater testing across diverse environments and operating conditions.

Field Conditions

From freshwater lakes to seawater deployments, and from daylight operations to low-light and nighttime conditions, HydroEye has been iteratively developed through sustained field use rather than laboratory testing alone.

02 — Capabilities

Stereo Imaging

Capture synchronized underwater visual data for reconstruction, inspection, and perception.

Diver Portable

Built for direct operation by divers in real underwater working environments.

Integrated Lighting

Subsea illumination supports imaging in dark and visually challenging conditions.

Field Controls

Physical controls allow recording and system interaction without relying on topside hardware.

Structured Data

Collect repeatable datasets that can feed computer vision and machine-learning workflows.

Extensible Platform

Designed as a foundation for additional sensing, metadata, perception, and autonomy capabilities.
