The world's most versatile motion capture camera.
Qualisys provides the possibility to measure underwater by using specially adapted motion capture cameras. Measure anything underwater, for example ship scale models, water sports, animation and more.
Qualisys Underwater camera is a motion capture camera that is designed to operate underwater. It consists of a camera enclosed in a waterproof housing. The housing is equipped with a strobe built specifically for underwater use.
Qualisys Underwater camera is suitable for a wide range of applications, such as ship design, naval research, fishing industry and sports science.
The Underwater camera use the same technology platform as our 5+, 6+ and 7+ camera series, meaning that the same range of image sensors and lenses are available for the underwater camera. The system is controlled through the same software, Qualisys Track Manager, as our ordinary land-based systems.
Qualisys Track Manager takes full advantage of the features of the camera , such as active filtering and the ability to stream 6DOF-data to 3rd-party applications in real-time. Synchronization with external equipment is also possible.
The underwater camera has integrated, full-frame, high speed video capability as an option and the underwater mocap camera is turned into a high-speed camera with a simple mouse click. High speed video is very useful to visualize measurements and overlay marker data on the real subjects.
Each underwater camera is pressure tested to 40m and is corrosion protected for use in salt water tanks or chlorinated swimming pools. Weight and volume is balanced to give the camera neutral buoyancy for easy handling in water.
In June 2011, we made underwater measurements at Valhallabadet in Göteborg. The result can be seen on YouTube.
