The project focused on the coasts of the mainland U.S. and Puerto Rico is now ready find unmapped shipwrecks.
imagery of the seafloor. The imagery I used extends to a little over 14 miles from the coast and to a depth of 279 feet . This imagery contains huge areas with no shipwrecks, as well as the occasional shipwreck.. A model that automatically maps all shipwrecks over a large area can reduce the time and cost needed to look for wrecks, either with underwater drones or human divers.
The Navy’s Underwater Archaeology Branch is interested in this work because it could help the unit find unmapped or unknown naval shipwrecks. More broadly, this is a new method in the field of underwater archaeology that can be expanded to look for various types of submerged archaeological features, including buildings, statues and airplanes.
. These projects are able to find a handful of shipwrecks that are in the area immediately surrounding the drone.We’d like to include more shipwreck and imagery data from all over the world in the model. This will help the model get really good at recognizing many different types of shipwrecks. We also hope that the Navy’s Underwater Archaeology Branch will dive to some of the places where the model detected shipwrecks. This will allow us to check the model’s accuracy more carefully.
