Fathom overcomes common challenges related to the cost and technical complexity of topo-bathymetric surveys by leveraging Optech's advancements in sensor miniaturization, real-time processing, and production workflow acceleration.

Fathom was developed in response to feedback from government and engineering organizations identifying that crucial geospatial data is missing for the management of resources and infrastructure on land, intertidal zone, and seafloor.

Introducing Fathom

Teledyne OPTECH'S Fathom system uses airborne topo-bathy lidar to efficiently map underwater and coastal terrains, providing real-time data processing and comprehensive coverage in a single flight. Watch the video to learn more.

A comprehensive solution

1 - Topographic Lidar

High resolution for building, vegetation and terrain models with up to 2 million measurement/second and a coverage rate of up to 225 km2/hr.

2 - Bathymetric Lidar

Accurate water surface detection and robust underwater mapping in varying water conditions.

3 - Multispectral Camera

Built-in 120 megapixel camera delivering RGB and infrared imagery for complete basemaps and shoreline digitization.

Fathom for Land Surveyors

Surveyors icon

Use Fathom for land applications, and complement your existing operations with marine capability. Fathom meets the established standards for topographic density, precision and accuracy.

Fathom for Hydrographers

Hydrographers icon

Map the gap between land and water. Complement acoustic surveys by delivering detailed data over the coast. Fathom meets IHO Special Order standard, and delivers data 45x more productively in the intertidal zone. Access remote and shallow project areas, safely and at a fast coverage rate of 50km2/hr.

Fathom for Photogrammetrists

Photogrammetrists

From a single instrument deliver crisp imagery for orthomosaics, 3D models, colorized point clouds and vectors. Complement imagery projects with critical 3D information for accurate hydrologic models.

Benefits of Fathom

Holistic land and water data

Comprehensive data integration of topo lidar, bathy lidar, and a multispectral camera capturing the complete coastal scene—from dry land to below water.

Lower operational cost

Optimized for smaller aircraft, requiring only a two-person team for installation and operation. Natively gyro stabilized to reduce sidelap and flight costs.

Confidence in collection

Leverage real-time quality control and a modern interface to facilitate data collection and accelerate data acceptance.

Rapid turnaround

Accelerate data processing using a modern interface and automated routines to convert raw data to point clouds, images, grids and navigation charts.
