Cerulean Sonar Omniscan 3D
Advanced technology. Sensibly priced.
3D imaging sonar
3D imaging sonar in one pass.
Watch Omniscan 3D build a real-time point cloud as the vehicle moves. Then use SonarView to inspect, mark, and measure what you find.

3D spatial context for inspection and mapping missions.
Actual output
The difference is spatial.
Conventional side scan presents acoustic returns on a flat surface. Omniscan 3D adds vertical-angle information so SonarView can place returns where they belong in three-dimensional space.

See it. Act on it.
From a sonar return to an actionable finding.
Paired with Omniscan 3D, SonarView creates an interactive view of the scene as you scan. Identify an object of interest in the water column, give the finding a name and category, record its coordinates, and measure distances between selected points.

Find what the camera misses.
Separate returns in the water column from the bottom and inspect them in spatial context.

Turn the sighting into a record.
Select and categorize a point of interest, label it, and retain its location coordinates for the next review or mission.

Understand the surrounding space.
Measure distances between selected points or objects to assess a target area and inform the next step.
SonarView saves the collected information and supports export for further analysis.
SonarView is free to download and works on Windows, macOS, Linux, and Docker. Explore SonarView
Signal to scene
Three stages. One continuous workflow.
Omniscan 3D captures high-resolution acoustic imagery, resolves each return vertically, and renders the result while the scan progresses.
Acquire the return
The side-scan transducer collects detailed acoustic imagery and slant range.
Locate it in 3D
The 16-channel receive array determines vertical-angle information for each return.
Build the scene
SonarView displays a true 3D bottom mesh and point cloud in real time.
Technical sheet
Capability without unnecessary system weight.
The all-in-one Omniscan 3D integrates transducers, processing electronics, onboard compute, and Ethernet switching in one compact enclosure.

System fit
Start with the mission.
The relevant comparison is mission sufficiency and total operational value—not specification parity for its own sake.
Wide-swath shallow-water work where spatial context, deployment density, and cost efficiency matter.
Compact USV, MSV, ROV, AUV integrations that benefit from a single Ethernet connection.
Programs where multiple units, redundancy, persistence, or phased expansion create more operational value.
