Underwater Field of View Correction
UW-FOV Series
Enjoy a wide field of view underwater without altering the mechanics of your housing.

What the solution does
The UW-FOV series consists of plug-and-play front-end optical modules designed to restore and expand the field of view of underwater cameras, particularly for compact inspection systems and ROVs.
Standard lenses, which are optimized for use in air, lose up to 30–40% of their field of view when submerged. UW-FOV modules compensate for this effect and restore wide-angle coverage directly underwater.
100% passive solution:
no electronics
no power
no recalibration
no impact on existing workflows
Why it matters
Underwater vision systems that use flat portholes experience a significant loss of field of view due to refraction.
Consequences:
reduced visibility
increased repositioning
increased inspection time
The UW-FOV series allows you to:
cover a larger area with each pass
reduce ROV travel
shorten the duration of assignments
improve operator safety
More coverage. Less effort. Greater efficiency.
Key Benefits
Passive optical module (no power supply required)
Simple front-panel installation (plug-and-play)
No changes to the camera electronics
Retaining existing calibrations
Sharpness maintained across the entire wide field of view
Easy upgrade. Immediate performance boost.
Integration
Supplied as a calibrated optical module, ready to be mounted in front of compatible lenses.
Typical installation time: less than 10 minutes
Custom mechanical interfaces available
Adaptation to depth constraints available upon request
Designed and manufactured in France by Imasolia.
Applications
Offshore inspection
Monitoring of underwater infrastructure
Marine research missions
Hull inspection
Underwater industrial imaging
Aquaculture
Technical specifications
Optical performance depends on the model selected and the camera configuration.
Typical configuration without UW-FOV:
- Diagonal field of view in air: 66°
Reduced field of view underwater (depends on the porthole)
Systems not optimized for underwater imaging
With UW-FOV80:
Diagonal field of view underwater: 80°
Restoration of the field of view behind a flat porthole
Compatible with dome-shaped portholes if necessary
Compatibility
Compatible with Tamron MP3010-type zoom camera modules
Front-mounted
Integration with standard ROV hulls
