Abstract

Photogrammetry is one of the oldest but constantly evolving branch of computer vision. The main concept behind it is based on obtaining three-dimensional coordinates of a real word object from a series of pictures of it, collected from diferent locations. The outcome is a three-dimensional model of the object, on which any kind of virtual manipulation and quantitative measuring can be carried out. Several examples of both aerial (based on aerial photographs) and close-range (based on standard close-distance pictures) photogrammetry applications to diferent felds of marine science, are described, promoting the use of this technique as an undeniable aid for oceanographers, marine geologists and biologists.
