Ocean Discovery delivers marine archaeological documentation using ROV, side scan sonar, photogrammetry, and geo-referenced imagery. The work gives archaeologists, public agencies, and museums measurable data for assessment, contract archaeology, and long-term management of maritime heritage sites.
Archaeological 3D mapping
Photogrammetry and 3D scanning provide a fast overview of wrecks and remains while preserving the detail needed for archaeological interpretation. Orthophotos, DEM models, and textured 3D models make it possible to measure structures, document find positions, and compare site conditions over time.

Surveys and contract archaeology
For dredging, pipeline routes, wind-farm development, and other marine works, Ocean Discovery can provide technical documentation for archaeological surveys and environmental assessments. Vessel resources, sonar, and ROV operations are combined with archaeological expertise for efficient and traceable results.

ROV, sonar, and positioned documentation
ROV inspections and sonar are used to locate, delimit, and document remains at depth or in environments where diving is impractical. Video, still imagery, and 3D models can be positioned with underwater positioning, creating clear references for reporting and further analysis.
