3D Visual Reconstruction for Rapid Archaeological Characterization
The use of optical mapping has the potential to create accurate and vastly higher-resolution models of submerged archaeological sites with a fraction of the time and costs of traditional underwater survey means. This project involved the completion of a high-resolution survey of an internationally important submerged site (Port Royal, Jamaica) and scientists in the process produced a robust system of underwater survey for use by the archaeological profession to produce detailed, photorealistic plans and models of submerged sites quickly, economically, and to a level of accuracy comparable to that achieved on terrestrial sites. Funding for this project was provided by NOAA Ocean Exploration via its Ocean Exploration Fiscal Year 2014 Funding Opportunity.
