Title: Shipwreck Imaging for XR Applications

Speaker: Andrew Woods, Curtin University HIVE (Australia)

Abstract: This talk discusses the work of a team at the Curtin University HIVE (Hub for Immersive Visualisation and eResearch) that has developed a suite of technologies for the capture, processing, and visualization of detailed digital 3D models of shipwreck sites around Australia and the world, which can be used in XR applications. For this work, several deep-water underwater cameras that can operate in an array to collect detailed photography of underwater sites efficiently was developed. Custom photogrammetric 3D reconstruction processing software to run large-scale datasets of large shipwreck sites on a super-computer is currently under development. Image processing steps to improve the quality of photogrammetry processing have allowed the team to produce detailed large- and small-scale digital 3D models from more than 30 shipwreck sites. These digital 3D models can be viewed in a range of ways—including VR HMDs and autostereoscopic 3D displays—but the most impressive is the wrap-around stereoscopic 3D cylinder projection display at HIVE.
