This is an abstract from the session entitled "Digital Approaches in Nautical Archaeology", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In the past 5 years small ROVs, or underwater drones, have become an inexpensive and accessible survey tool for maritime archaeologists. There are currently many capable models less than $3,000 USD that can operate at depths of 100m/330ft. The authors explored the possibility of using these affordable underwater drones for...
Stereo Photogrammetry for Scaling Underwater Models (2022)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Paper / Report Submission (General Sessions)" , at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. This project will examine the use of stereo GoPro cameras for the purpose of scaling 3d photogrammetric models underwater. These cameras will be set to take images simultaneously at the same angle, 25 centimeters apart therefore creating a scale bar between each set of images. This project also seeks to remotely model shipwrecks...
