Data collection
Collect field observations and associate them with location information. The Kristineberg training case demonstrates Alltab and Allure alongside UWIS.
Who it's for / Scientific diving
COLLECT DATA.
KNOW WHERE IT BELONGS.
Give observations, underwater imagery and recorded footage a spatial context — whether the work is carried out by divers or an ROV.

The research need
MORE THAN
A LOCATION.
A position helps place a finding in context, revisit a study area and connect records from the same site.
Underwater photogrammetry
Use recorded position information, including depth, to support the spatial context of imaging work. In the Signilskär case, positions were associated with images after the dive and used in Metashape reconstruction.
Geolocated recordings
Connect footage with the route, coordinates and depth of the recording. The marine habitat case shows UWIS data added to ROV video during post-processing.
From the dive to the research record
COLLECT. CONNECT.
REVIEW.
Navigate and record
Track divers or an ROV. Use a compatible underwater display to navigate and mark points of interest while gathering observations or imagery.
Associate the records
Match position records to observations, images or footage using the workflow appropriate to the recording equipment and software.
Use the spatial context
Review routes, support reconstruction and prepare spatial records for later study or a return visit.
The field cases show specific workflows. Image association, video overlays and 3D reconstruction use the tools described in each case.
