Deploying robots to explore venues that are inaccessible to humans, or simply inhospitable,
has been a longstanding ambition of scientists, engineers, and explorers across numerous …

Photometric stereo is widely used for 3D reconstruction. However, its use in scattering media
such as water, biological tissue and fog has been limited until now, because of forward …

This study provides a comprehensive review of the current state of the art in marine
technology as it pertains to the 3D documentation of underwater archaeological and …

We present an approach for navigating in unknown environments while, simultaneously,
gathering information for inspecting underwater structures using an autonomous underwater …

ARchaeological RObot systems for the World's Seas (ARROWS) EU Project proposes to
