Optimal Ranging Orion: Underwater Utility Survey
The Orion underwater utility survey system brings the power of model-based processing to cable and pipeline Depth of Burial (DOB) surveys. The method is based on the optimization of data from multiple sensors against a physical model of the magnetic field expected from a utility line carrying an AC tone (actively applied or passively present).

Features
System accuracy is estimated and presented in real-time.
It can be ROV mounted or deployed in a towed or fixed-hull set-up
The Orion sensor array only needs to be brought in the approximate vicinity of the utility line to calculate a relative position.
It features a narrow band filtering engine that provides quadrature demodulated magnetic field strengths.
