First Application of 360-Degree Camera Technology to Marine Predator Bio-Logging
Animal-borne video camera systems have long-been used to capture the fine-scale behaviors and unknown aspects of the biology of marine animals. However, their utility to serve as robust scientific tools in the greater bio-logging research community has ...

Seafloor video mapping: modeling, algorithms, apparatus
This paper discusses a technique used for construction of high-resolution image mosaic from a video sequence and the synchronously logged camera attitude information. It allows one to infer geometric characteristics of the imaged terrain and hence improve the mosaic quality and reduce the computational burden.

Sensor-assisted video mosaicing for seafloor mapping [PDF]
This paper discusses a proposed processing technique for combining video imagery with auxiliary sensor information. The latter greatly simplifies image processing by reducing complexity of the transformation model. The mosaics produced by this technique are adequate for many applications, in particular habitat mapping.

Advanced Mid-Water Tools for 4D Marine Data Fusion and Visualization [PDF]
Mapping and charting of the seafloor underwent a revolution approximately 20 years ago with the introduction of multibeam sonars -- sonars that provided complete, high-resolution coverage of the seafloor rather than sparse measurements. The initial focus
