USS Moray (SS-300) Photogrammetry Model

[beldridg]

As I mentioned in my Trip Report post about the USS Moray, I've also completed a photogrammetry model of the sub. Below is a link to the blog post with all the details and screenshots and then also a link to the online model. Due to limitations of mobile devices, I've posted a low-res version and a higher-res version for desktops. In the post, I also describe how the model has potentially allowed us to find a second torpedo hole.

The model consists of 4,000 photos.

Color me super jealous. I keep hearing rumors the navy is either leaving or toning down operations on the island, but I doubt it. If they do, maybe more people eventually can visit. But guess that's a double edged sword, since more divers will mean the wreck will deteriorate faster in all likelihood.

It might have been in the original Trip Report post. It is 190 fsw at the stern and 160 fsw at the bow.

I went through all 4,000 photos and masked off any diver so they wouldn’t be used in alignment.

Those of us that have used photoshop are shaking our heads in amazement. It's an incredibly detailed model that alot of divers will use in the future to explore key parts of the wreck. Congrats on a solid piece of artwork !!

Thanks for the feedback! Labor of love.

Masking off divers from being used for alignment is a relatively easy process in Metashape. Luckily, I avoided them in almost all the photos. I think there were probably about 50-100 photos that required some masking.
