3D Bounce Ball Camera

Abstract

There are several Coast Guard missions where the ability to see areas before placing personnel in those areas can be useful. Some examples include clearing and securing spaces on ships to survey possible dangerous spaces before entry by boarding teams, or situations that require the inspection of enclosed, overhead, and confined spaces. There are a few technologies that exist that can help in these situations, they include GoPro cameras on a pole, small uncrewed aerial systems, and borescope cameras. One of the technologies that shows promise are throwable cameras, such as those produced by Bounce Imaging. In September 2022 the Science and Technology Innovation Center (STIC) saw the Bounce camera (Figure 1) in use at a US Navy demo and decided to investigate whether it would be applicable for use in CG missions.
