A Visual Archive for 3D Submerged Heritage Data

Summary

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Paper / Report Submission (General Sessions)", at the 2024 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.

3D documentation tools and methods are becoming commonplace in nautical and underwater archaeology, but the means to visualize, preserve, share, publish, and re-use the resultant models and underlying raw datasets are often inaccessible. The OpenHeritage3D platform has built a scholarly framework for the use and re-use of full resolution LiDAR and photogrammetry data portraying cultural heritage sites (McAvoy et al. 2023), and through partnership with the Submerged Resources Center of the U.S. National Park Service has extended a model to incorporate marine photogrammetry, multibeam sonar, and sub-bottom profile data into an authoritative archive which enables full-resolution streamable viewing and basic metrology to the general public, and a systems architecture ensuring proper provenance, interoperability, and reusability of raw data by current and future scholars.
