Overview

DeepWater Desktop is the companion software for the SVC Pro. It receives data from the SVC Pro and attached hardware to produce 3D visuals such as: rectified images, disparity maps, and point clouds.

Getting Started with DeepWater Desktop

1

Open DeepWater Desktop

Open the DeepWaterDesktop.AppImage on your compatible Linux device. If you don’t have one, please contact our support team at support@dwe.ai.DeepWater Desktop Start Screen
2

Connect to the SVC Pro

Connect to SVC
192.168.2.2 is the default IP Address. If you changed it, make sure you input the correct address of your SVC Pro. Refer to the SVC Pro - Getting Started Guide.

Add a Stream

Select the plus icon next server address to add a stream.Start a Stream

Configure the Stream

After adding a stream, the stream configuration stream should pop up on screen. Depending on your requirements, you may want to configure the stream differently.Generally, you can consult the following tables:
Depth ModeResolutionDescription
ML Slow800 x 600Flagship ML model designed for highly accurate live instantaneous measurements.
ML Medium600 x 450Designed for moderately accurate measurements while improving FPS.
ML Fast400 x 300Designed for more limited systems or for high FPS requirements.
SGM800 x 600Traditional computer vision algorithm that does not use machine learning or AI. Ideal for SLAM applications.
Input TypeDescription
USBSelect your attached explore3D or other compatible hardware for live processing.
DWVO File1:1 Recordings of the original hardware feed. Playback simply reruns the image sequences through the processing algorithm to allow playback.
Next, you can select the calibration file. By default, it will have the correct calibration selected. If you have any custom calibration files, they will also appear here.
Please select the left camera (typically the Leader if in Leader-Follower mode), followed by the right camera. For modularity, the cameras do not store their positional data, so you will need to configure the sides manually.Add a Stream (USB)

Success!

You are all set! Once the stream initiates, DeepWater Desktop will begin processing your data.You should now see your 3D visuals—including rectified images, disparity maps, and point clouds—actively streaming in the main interface, just like the example below.
If your depth map looks inverted or incorrect, stop the stream and double-check that your left and right camera inputs were assigned in the correct order.
