Abstract ROV 3D project aims at developing innovative tools which link underwater
photogrammetry and acoustic measurements from an active underwater sensor. The
results will be 3D high resolution surveys of underwater sites and landscapes useful to
keep in memory cultural and natural heritage. The new means and methods developed
aim at reducing the investigation time in situ, and proposing comprehensive and
non-intrusive measurement tools for the studied environment.
