The System of Visual Assessment of Technical State of Underwater Objects

Abstract:

This material presents the results of works implemented so far at the Department of Underwater Work Technology of the Polish Naval Academy in Gdynia, Poland, within the project No. O N502 274039, focused on an attempt to prepare theoretical assumptions for the visual diagnostics system for underwater objects. The main accomplishments until now have been the preparation of a mathematical model allowing specification of dimensions of photographed underwater objects and construction of a prototype underwater photogrammetric camera. The said device is used for collecting data required in the mathematical model. Moreover, the project involved carrying out experiments which provided the basis for determining optical parameters of the constructed camera. In prospect, the works on the application for the operation of the photogrammetric camera will be accompanied by construction works on a visual assessment system allowing for quantitative and qualitative verification of the state of examined underwater objects.
