Stereo Photogrammetry for Scaling Underwater Models

Summary

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 using a low-cost Fifish V6 ROV system equipped with stereo cameras, providing archeologists with a low-cost and low-risk form of 3d modeling at submerged archeological sites. All the field work for this project is to be conducted in summer 2021on shipwrecks in Lake Winnipesaukee, NH. This presentation will cover how to do scaling using stereo cameras in Agisoft Metashape and discuss the results of the survey conducted in summer 2021.
