USING STEREO IMAGE RECONSTRUCTION TO SURVEY SCALE MODELS OF RUBBLE-MOUND STRUCTURES

The correction of refraction effects between two media in the stereo reconstruction of a submerged scene is dealt with in this paper. A software package that enables the survey of the armour layer envelope of scale-model rubble-mound breakwaters being made from a stereo pair taken without emptying the wave flume or tank where the model is built is also presented. A slope in a wave flume is employed to assess the quality of the surveys obtained with that package. The first results of this procedure are presented.
