3D Scanning / Photogrammetry
High-resolution 3D scanning for wrecks, pipelines, bridge foundations, ports, tunnels, and other underwater infrastructure.
We document what others cannot see.
Ocean Discovery helps authorities, museums, universities, municipalities, and industry understand underwater environments with measurable data, fast deployment, and clear visual outputs.

Recent assignment
M/S Estonia documented in 3D.
Ocean Discovery carried out the M/S Estonia photogrammetry assignment in 2022 as documentation for the Swedish Accident Investigation Authority.
Case study 01
M/S Estonia — photogrammetry under extreme conditions.
In summer 2022 the wreck was documented with ROV and photogrammetry. The result was a detailed 3D model based on tens of thousands of images, produced for analysis, communication, and technical review.

Process
A clear path from site question to delivery.
Four steps, same rhythm since 1995. No black box — you see exactly what the team does and why.
01 · Define
01
Define the site question
We align on location, water conditions, risk, access, documentation needs, and decision criteria.
02 · Capture
02
Capture the underwater data
ROV, sonar, photography, sampling, and measurement workflows are selected for the mission.
03 · Process
03
Process into usable outputs
Raw capture becomes models, imagery, maps, measurements, and visualizations your team can use.
04 · Deliver
04
Deliver and interpret
Final files are packaged for stakeholders, investigators, researchers, or public communication.
