Abstract
3D model reconstruction of marine structures, such as dams, oil-rigs, and sea caves, is both important and challenging. An important application includes structural inspection. Manual inspection of marine structures is tedious and even a small oversight can have severe consequences for the structure and the people around it. A robotic system that
can construct 3D models of marine structures would hopefully reduce the chances of oversight, and hence improve the safety of marine environment. Due to the water currents and wakes, developing a robotic system to construct 3D models of marine structures is a challenge, as it is difficult for a robot to reach the desired scan configurations and take a scan of the environment while remaining stationary. This paper presents our preliminary work in developing a robotic and software system for construction of 3D models of marine structures. We have successfully tested our system in a sea water environment in the Singapore Straits.
