Virtual Open-Air Museum of Wrecks in the Gulf of Gdansk. 3D digitalization of underwater archaeological sites
Tomasz Bednarz
Abstract:
In 2015, National Maritime Museum in Gdansk (NMM) have launched the "Virtual Open-Air Museum of Wrecks in the Gulf of Gdansk". This website presents photogrammetric 3D models of wrecks from the Gulf of Gdansk created in the NMM since 2013. Museum have developed an effective system aimed at compilation of records of underwater objects which has made it possible to create the 3D models featured on the website. Apart from their aesthetic qualities, the featured 3D models of wrecks constitute careful copies of the objects and make it possible to create sections, projections and animation of any kind. The website now contains thirteen 3D models of wrecks with their descriptions, photo and video documentation. By the end of 2018, NMM is planning to post on the website www.wsw.nmm.pl eight more wrecks from the Gulf of Gdansk and more wrecks in the next years.
