Visual systems are receiving increasing attention in underwater applications. While the
photogrammetric and computer vision literature so far has largely targeted shallow water …

Abstract Purpose of Review This paper addresses the benefits and challenges of mixed
reality (MR) for the exploration of deep-sea environments with remotely operated vehicles …

This paper addresses the lack of “push-button” software for optical marine imaging, which
currently limits the use of photogrammetric approaches by a wider community. It presents …

Towed camera systems are commonly used to collect photo and video images of the deep
seafloor for a wide variety of purposes, from pure exploratory research to the development of …

The increasing availability of seabed images has created new opportunities and challenges
for monitoring and better understanding the spatial distribution of fauna and substrata. To …

Hyperspectral imaging has been increasingly used for underwater survey applications over
the past years. As many hyperspectral cameras work as push-broom scanners, their use is …

The deep sea is characterized by a wide range of landscapes, including complex features
where topography and currents interact to form highly heterogeneous habitats. In addition to …

Imagery has become one of the main data sources for investigating seascape spatial
patterns. This is particularly true in deep-sea environments, which are only accessible with …

This study characterizes the habitats and megafaunal community of the Congo distal lobe
complex driven by turbidity currents through the use of remotely operated vehicle (ROV) still …

The ever increasing demand for biological and geophysical data of the underwater
environment has prompted the French oceanographic institute IFREMER to develop a new …
