Photogrammetric Applications to Underseas Tasks

Photogrammetry, the science of obtaining reliable measurements by means of photography, has provided the oceanographer with a new tool. It is used to provide a permanent record of the object space and to provide a set of three space coordinates for any image of interest. These photographs are often of humanly inaccessible places. However, much work remains to be done. Photogrammetric cameras for underwater use that will function as efficiently as aerial photogrammetric cameras must be designed. Systems of position control must be developed; a greater control over the camera platform must be achieved and uniform illumination must be provided.
