Subsea laser technology approaches historic plane wreck

3D at Depth, a subsea imaging company, made use of new laser technology to create a 3D reverse engineered model of the wreck of an historical U.S. Navy plane. The underwater survey technique integrates photogrammetry with Subsea laser LiDAR (SL) technology to create accurate, precise, reverse engineered 3D models.

Specifically, the company used this technique on the U.S. Navy Douglas TBD-1 Devastator aircraft that is largely intact on the bottom of Jaluit Lagoon in the Marshall Islands. Of the...
