Generating accurate and detailed 3D models of objects in underwater environment is a challenging task. This work presents experimental results of using Microsoft Kinect" v2 depth camera for dense depth data acquisition underwater that gives reasonable 3D scanned data but with smaller scanning range. Motivations for this research are the user friendliness and low-cost of the device as compared to multi view stereo cameras or marine-hardened laser scanning solutions and equipment. Preliminary results of underwater point cloud generation and volumetric reconstruction are also presented. The novelty of this work is the utilization of the Kinect depth camera for real-time 3D mesh reconstruction and the main objective is to develop an economical and compact solution for underwater 3D scanning. © 2017 SPIE. date: 2017 publisher: SPIE official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85020314976&doi=10.1117%2f12.2266834&partnerID=40&md5=c745cad78ddcd41eff97172332cc125a id_number: 10.1117/12.2266834 full_text_status: none publication: Proceedings of SPIE - The International Society for Optical Engineering volume: 10338 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9781510611214 issn: 0277786X citation: Anwer, A. and Ali, S.S.A. and Khan, A. and Mériaudeau, F.
