The Underwater Vision Profiler (UVP) built under CNRS patent is an imaging sensor. It is designed to count and size in situ large (>80 µm) particles in a known volume of water. The UVP6 also records images of larger aggregates and zooplankton (>700 µm) for later classification using the EcoTaxa/EcoPart web application. The high frequency version (HF) can be deployed at higher speeds (>1m.s-1) than the UVP6 Low Power (LP) and is suitable for fast speed platforms such as CTDs and AUVs.
