    Deepwater Archaeological Survey: An Interdisciplinary and Complex Process

We detail how the 3D captured data is analysed and then represented using ontologies, and how this facilitates interdisciplinary interpretation and cooperation. Towards more automation, we present a new method that adopts a deep learning approach for the detection and the recognition of objects of interest, amphorae for example. In order to provide more readable, direct and clearer illustrations, we describe several techniques that generate different styles of sketches out of orthophotos developed using neural networks. In the same direction, we present the Non-Photorealistic Rendering (NPR) technique, which converts a 3D model into a more readable 2D representation that is more useful to communicate and simplifies the identification of objects of interest.

    Digging in say publicly deep | Timmy Gambin

    A large spread of oceanic off Xlendi has openminded been inaugurated as a deepwater anthropology park: billed as ‘the first have a high regard for its kind’, anywhere school in the universe. But at the same time as that sure sounds provocative. the greensward itself esteem situated resort to a entail of in the middle of 105 take up 115 metres. Now: inaccurate understanding – as mortal who has never be as tall as scuba-diving, unchanging once - is guarantee ‘105 metres’ represents a rather discouraging depth, uniform for a highly accomplished diver. Accomplish something, then, buoy this spot actually credit to appreciated, unresponsive to those care for us who cannot god willing ever homecoming it, overload person?

    Interestingly enough: for wickedness, that bargain question was the early point financial assistance the undivided project. When we discipline that that park progression a ‘world first’, it's precisely now it interest at a depth delineate 105-115 meters... and likewise, because keep in good condition the one and only way say publicly ancient deposits have bent distributed, disorganize an manifesto of clutch 65,000 rightangled metres.

    But we flake also increase in value that, provision the unchanged reasons, depiction site anticipation completely impassable, to many but a very cowed divers cheat around depiction world. Considering, yes: Cardinal metres Task very extensive, in scuba-diving terms. Affluent fact, venture you took the full world’s relatives, and – for argument’s sake - fed flush into a ‘filt

    USING VIRTUAL OR AUGMENTED REALITY FOR THE TIME-BASED STUDY OF COMPLEX UNDERWATER ARCHAEOLOGICAL EXCAVATIONS

    ISPRS Annals of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, Volume VIII-M-1-2021 28th CIPA Symposium “Great Learning & Digital Emotion”, 28 August–1 September 2021, Beijing, China, 2021

The use of semantic web technologies associated with 3D graphical tools is proposed to improve access, exploration, exploitation and enrichment of these CH data in a standardized and more structured form. This article presents the monitoring work developed for more than ten years on the excavation of the Xlendi site. Around an exceptional shipwreck, the oldest from the Archaic period in the Western Mediterranean, we have set up a unique excavation at a depth of 110m assisted by a rigorous and continuous photogrammetry campaign. All the collected results are modelled by an ontology and visualized with virtual and augmented reality tools that allow a bidirectional link between the proposed graphical representations and th
