Area of Science:

  • Photogrammetry
  • Optical Metrology
  • Geodesy

Background:

  • Underwater photogrammetry requires accounting for light refraction at media interfaces (Snell's Law).
  • Existing geometric models may not fully address multimedia photogrammetry challenges.
  • Accurate 3D measurements in underwater environments are crucial for various scientific and engineering applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a flexible and accurate geometric model for handling refraction in underwater photogrammetry.
  • To integrate this model into standard photogrammetric software modules.
  • To analyze factors affecting accuracy in underwater measurement scenarios.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a novel geometric model incorporating Snell's Law for multimedia photogrammetry.
  • Implementation of the model as a module for standard photogrammetric processes (e.g., bundle adjustment).
  • Analysis of accuracy-influencing factors: network geometry, interface planarity, refractive index variations, and underwater optical conditions.

Main Results:

  • A robust geometric model effectively handles refraction effects for underwater object measurement.
  • The model can be seamlessly integrated into existing photogrammetric workflows.
  • Accuracy degradation up to a factor of two was observed under favorable experimental conditions due to various environmental factors.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed geometric model enhances the accuracy of underwater photogrammetric measurements.
  • Careful consideration of environmental factors is essential for reliable underwater 3D reconstruction.
  • The developed module offers a practical solution for improving underwater measurement precision.
