A while back I nearly didn’t answer the phone. It was one of those international numbers and I didn’t recognise it but something told me to pick it up. I spent the next 30 minutes chatting to John Kinsella of Ocean Divers in Ireland all about 3D reconstruction and how it could be used in Read more about Wrecked in Second Life[…]
Control Points Defined
Regular visitors will know we use the UWIS system to track our movements and camera positions as we work on the Vobster Photogrammetry Project. But what if we turned the idea on its head? Instead of tracking the camera or diver as it moves around could we use the UWIS tracker units as a static Read more about Control Points Defined[…]
Return to Depth
Short discussion on first dive after COVID-19 lockdown and using UWIS tracker for 3D reconstruction and improving local accuracy of model with adjustments to tracker unit location.
You need an App for that
It should come as no surprise to find we like efficiency. Anything that makes life easier will always be welcomed with open arms and the UWIS navigation system does just that. Maintaining efficiency carries on above the waves. Every single image is traceable back to the project or subject and retrieval takes seconds. Its part Read more about You need an App for that[…]
