This model was created by diving the site and taking overlapping photographs along carefully planned routes. This included swimming in straight lines over the top of the cargo mound, as well as along as circular routes at lower angles to view along and underneath the pipes and wheels.
Of several thousand photos, 682 were selected to create this 3D model using a process called photogrammetry. The positions of the photographs used to create this model can be seen below. Specialist software was used to create and edit the model.
