How BubbaView Processes This

Real NOAA vessel grounding damage assessment processed through BubbaView's analysis pipeline. The platform plans 0.5m row-spacing lawnmower surveys, processes Simrad sonar and camera data to generate 3D injury volume models, and produces professional restoration plan reports. In the field, BlueBoat collects survey data autonomously while BubbaView handles real-time visualization, YOLOv8 species detection, and Braun-Blanquet monitoring reports.

Built for Blue Robotics Hardware

BlueBoat Autonomous Surface Vehicle

BubbaView serves as the complete ground control station for BlueBoat operations. Plan survey missions with polygon drawing tools, generate lawnmower patterns, and monitor real-time telemetry while the boat executes waypoint missions autonomously. Full Xbox controller support for manual override, E-STOP safety system, and MAVLink protocol integration for precise vehicle control.

Also supports BlueROV2 submarine operations with 6-axis control, pitch/roll indicators, and dedicated ROV cockpit view.

Key Features
