Marine archaeological documentation

Ocean Discovery works closely with universities, government agencies, county administrative boards and museums as a consultant with special expertise in underwater documentation. The company possesses a wide range of technical know-how and uses the latest technology as hull mounted and towed side scans sonars as well as advanced remote-control robots with high-resolution video and still image capabilities.

Archaeological 3D Kartering

The company is a leader in 3D Scanning and possesses a unique ability to document maritime historical remains such as wrecks and cultural environments at several hundred meters depth. 3D scanning based on photogrammetry creates new possibilities for marine archaeological assessments and mappings as it provides an immediate overview and high level of detail. Both orthographic maps created with photogrammetry and recorded video can be geographically positioned with underwater positioning equipment.
