Photogrammetry-based Deviation Analysis of WWII Wrecks in Saipan Using: Methodology, Explanations, and Results

Summary

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Exploration-Forward Archaeology Through Community-Driven Research", at the 2024 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.

Photogrammetry-based 3D recording was conducted on nine submerged WWII American and Japanese wrecks in 2017 and again in 2023. The authors used the scaled 3D models in CloudCompare, a point cloud analysis software, to visualize and quantify the differences between the two years. In this paper, the authors will explain the results and the methodology used, as well as discuss future prospects for ongoing monitoring projects in Saipan and other Pacific regions.
