With Hugin, you can assemble a mosaic of photographs into a complete immersive panorama, stitch any series of overlapping pictures, and much more. The design has been developed around Kongsberg’s automated Launch and Recovery (LAR) with battery charging through inductive power providing true over the horizon operations. Hugin is an easy to use cross-platform panoramic imaging toolchain based on Panorama Tools.

This configuration has been designed to cover most geophysical survey requirements, as well as mine-countermeasures, rapid environmental assessment, search and recovery, as well as the survey of critical national infrastructure.įrom inception HUGIN Edge is designed to operate from Uncrewed Surface Vehicles (USVs), small surface vessels and from shore. The general arrangement includes the next generation of KONGSBERG synthetic aperture sonar, a high frequency multibeam echosounder and a swappable camera or sub-bottom profiler. It is packaged with the latest battery technology to provide more than 24 hours operation at depths of up to 1000 metres. Measuring less than 4 metres long, HUGIN Edge weighs approximately 300kg. It is these in-mission edge-processing capabilities that drive step-changes in both performance and efficiency for all operations. In-mission adaptive execution allows HUGIN Edge to make several decisions autonomously, continuously replanning during mission execution as more information about the surrounding environment is gathered by the sensors. Mission objectives may include sounding density, or detection probability enabling the AUV to calculate the actual waypoints, operational parameters and sensor configuration. The mission planning capabilities provides a higher-level mission planning interface, requiring less specialist knowledge and input by the operator.
