Short Description

Our interdisciplinary project connects underwater/naval archaeology with computer science, bringing together experts from France, Malta, and the USA. We aim to create an information system based on ontologies to manage digital content and expert knowledge in a uniform way. This system will integrate field data collected, in particular through underwater photogrammetry, a precise tool for underwater archaeology. We have used this technique, supported by ontologies, to automate the survey of a deep wreck in Malta. Subsequently, the project will extend to naval archaeology, in partnership with the University of Texas, to refine the structural knowledge of ships.
