Accuracy Defined?
Underwater GPS meets Photogrammetry For a while we have been using GPS located cameras to construct highly accurate models of defensive structures known as pillboxes. Fixing a camera position above the waves is straightforward enough and you can build representative models without additional scale bars or measurements if the GPS signal is accurate. The problems Read more about Accuracy Defined?[…]
Where do we go from here?
Details of the Vobster Quay underwater navigation day – showcasing how we use the latest technology to answer “where am I?”
Accurate Capture
Discussion around the use and benefits of accurate GPS values with image alignment in photogrammetry
Go Large & Print Big
Long time friend and collaborator Grahame Knott of Deeper Dorset decided he wanted some art to hang in the house. Whatever was going to hang needed to be relevant and big enough to fill the wall in a single image. With everything in life, size matters and the opportunity to print an ortho photo was Read more about Go Large & Print Big[…]
Line of Control
Living in the South East of the UK you are never far away from reminders of more turbulent times. Built during 1940/41 and stretching across the the country are lines of bunkers – known as pillboxes – and other fortifications intended to slow down an invading army. Type 24 Pillbox by Deep3D on Sketchfab. Thankfully Read more about Line of Control[…]
Scapa Flow – The Results
3D Work in Scapa At least once a year we take the long drive north to Orkney and Scapa Flow for a week of diving onboard the MV Valkryie. The Flow has been used as a military base during both world wars and the German High Seas Fleet was interred and scuttled there in 1919. Read more about Scapa Flow – The Results[…]
DEMS – Another View
Slope Analysis As we have discussed before Digital Elevation Models help us understand subtle changes in depth (or height) of the subject. We also think they are art in their own right. Tucked away in the 1.4 release of Agisoft Photoscan Pro is a preference that adds slope analysis. The colours applied to the model Read more about DEMS – Another View[…]
Maps and Sketchfab
Where is it? Just the other day the discussion here at Deep3D was all about answering the question Where am I? Now we can share where is it? Sketchfab is the place where most of my work ends up being shared and viewed. You can upload directly from within Agisoft Photoscan and there are some very neat tools to Read more about Maps and Sketchfab[…]
Underwater GPS and Photogrammetry
Where am I? Trying to scan underwater sites such as submerged landscapes or very broken wrecks often results in becoming hopelessly lost. Add into the mix the vision limiting experience of low visibility and a difficult job gets a lot harder. When on a sightseeing dive disorientation can be frustrating as you fin around missing Read more about Underwater GPS and Photogrammetry[…]
