PoseIDON uses foundation models for seafloor object burial mapping

Researchers have developed PoseIDON, a computer vision pipeline that uses deep foundation model features and multiview photogrammetry to estimate the six degrees of freedom pose and orientation of objects on the seafloor. This method is applied to map the burial state of anthropogenic objects in marine sediment, which is crucial for assessing ecological risks and potential pollutant transport. The system was validated using footage of 54 objects, achieving a mean burial depth error of approximately 10 centimeters and enabling scalable, non-invasive mapping for environmental assessments.
