  "textContent": "An apparatus and method are presented comprising one or more sensors or cameras configured to rotate about a central motor. In some examples, the motor is configured to travel at a constant linear speed while the one or more cameras face downward and collect a set of images in a predetermined region of interest. The apparatus and method are configured for image acquisition with non-sequential image overlap. The apparatus and method are configured to eliminate gaps in image detection for fault-proof collection of imagery for an underwater survey. In some examples, long baseline (LBL) is utilized for mapping detected images to a location. In some examples, ultra-short baseline (USBL) is utilized for mapping detected images to a location. The apparatus and method are configured to utilize a simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) approach.",
