USING COMPUTER VISION PHOTOGRAMMETRY (AGISOFT PHOTOSCAN) TO RECORD AND ANALYZE UNDERWATER SHIPWRECK SITES A Dissertation by KOTARO YAMAFUNE Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Luis Filipe Viera de Castro Committee Members, Kevin J. Crisman Donny Hamilton Tim McLaughlin Head of Department, Cynthia Werner May 2016 Major Subject: Anthropology Copyright 2016 Kotaro Yamafune ABSTRACT In 2010, a new off-the-shelf software for Computer Vision Photogrammetry, Agisoft PhotoScan, became available to nautical archeologists, and this technology has since become a popular method for recording underwater shipwreck sites. Today (2015), there are still active discussions regarding the accuracy and usage of Computer Vision Photogrammetry in the discipline of nautical archaeology. The author believes that creating a 1:1 scale constrained photogrammetric model of a submerged shipwreck site is not difficult as long as archaeologists first establish a local coordinate system of the site. After creation of a 1:1 scale constrained photogrammetric model, any measurements of the site can be obtained from the created 3D model and its digital data. This means that archaeologists never need to revisit the archaeological site to take additional measurements. Thus, Computer Vision Photogrammetry can substantially reduce archaeologists’ working time in water, and maximize quantity and quality of the data acquired. Furthermore, the author believes that the acquired photogrammetric data can be utilized in traditional ship reconstruction and other general studies of shipwrecks. With this idea, the author composed a new methodology that fuses Computer Vision Photogrammetry and other digital tools into traditional research methods of nautical archaeology. Using this method, archaeologists can create 3D models that accurately represent submerged cultural heritage sites, and these can be used as representative archaeological data. These types of representative data include (but are not limited to) ii site plans, technical artifact or timber drawings, shipwreck section profiles, georeferenced archaeological information databases, site-monitoring systems, digital hull fragment models and many other types of usable and practical 3D models. In this dissertation, the author explains his methodology and related new ideas. iii DEDICATION To my father and mother, who always trust and encourage me.

University Blvd, Tucson, AZ 85721 2Space Telescope Science Institute, 3700 San Martin Drive, Baltimore, MD 21212 { 3 { ABSTRACT Most directly imaged giant exoplanets are fainter than brown dwarfs with similar spectra. To explain their relative underluminosity unusually cloudy atmo- spheres have been proposed. However, with multiple parameters varying between any two objects, it remained difficult to observationally test this idea. We present a new method, sensitive time-resolved Hubble Space Telescope near-infrared spectroscopy, to study two rotating L/T transition brown dwarfs (2M2139 and SIMP0136). The observations provide spatially and spectrally resolved mapping of the cloud decks of the brown dwarfs. The data allow the study of cloud struc- ture variations while other parameters are unchanged. We find that both brown dwarfs display variations of identical nature: J- and H-band brightness varia- tions with minimal color and spectral changes.

    High Performance Career Women in Germany‟S Next Top Model - a New View on Women and Work in German Reality TV

    Austausch, Vol. 1, No. 2, October 2011 High performance career women in Germany‟s Next Top Model - A new view on women and work in German Reality TV Bahri Gültekin University of Kassel ([email protected]) Introduction „Germany‟s Next Top model‟ belongs to the new reality TV show genre. Its goal is to find a new German “Supermodel” from a selected pool of young girls. The show is presented by the internationally acclaimed and successful fashion model Heidi Klum from Germany. It is based on its American counterpart “America‟s Next Top Model” which was first shown in 2003. This type of fashion show has been copied in several different countries and has become a huge commercial success. The German version has been broadcast since 2006. Every series follows the same basic structure: twenty young girls are chosen from a crop of young hopefuls by a jury consisting of media-acclaimed fashion and modelling experts and Heidi Klum. The „chosen ones‟ compete against each other in different „challenges‟ during the course of the series. These challenges are set up by the „coaches‟ and the jury. The candidates must demonstrate skill and motivation to proceed to the next challenges. During the course of the show, they are taught about body language, style and personality. In this context they are required to take part in different „walks‟, photo shoots and other jobs which result from castings from real businesses. Here, they have to prove themselves as „real‟ models. The orchestrated „walks‟ and shoots aim to build up a career portfolio.
