The Underwater Vision Profiler (UVP) is an underwater camera manufactured by Hydroptic. It collects imagery to count and size large particles (>100 µm) and plankton. The camera operates at the 635 nm wavelength and has an image frequency of 1.3 Hz for the low-power version and 20 Hz for the high-frequency version. UVP provides imagery with a 5mp resolution and has a field of view of 180 by 151 mm. UVP can be deployed on profiling floats, gliders, moorings, autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs).
