CALVADOS
Marine mud volcanoes contribute a large portion of the material fluxes between the seafloor and the oceans and due to their high internal dynamics and fast changing morphology, mud
High-pressure laboratories and geotechnical testing
Scientific goals and objectives
Our high-pressure laboratories are used to investigate biogeochemical, geomechanical and geotechnical processes
Visual Mapping of the Ocean Floor
Traditionally, acoustical techniques have been used for mapping the ocean floor, e.g. using echo sounders.
Our goal is to complement the acoustic information by
Camera Calibration
Modern photogrammetric methods like image mosaicking or 3D reconstruction (see e.g. [4]) allow to use images taken by optical cameras to accurately measure distances or
