SD&A Keynote Session 1 Session Chair: Nicolas Holliman, University of Newcastle (United Kingdom) Mon. 3:50 - 4:50 pm Two shipwrecks, 2500 metres underwater, six 3D cameras - let the survey begin   Andrew Woods, Andrew Hutchison and Joshua Hollick, Curtin University; Tim Eastwood, Western Australian Museum (Australia) Abstract: In April/May 2015, a team led by Curtin University, WA Museum and DOF Subsea conducted a 3D imaging survey of the two historic shipwrecks HMAS Sydney (II) and HSK Kormoran. The Australian vessel HMAS Sydney and the German vessel HSK Kormoran encountered each other in the midst of World War II on the 19th of November in 1941 off the Western Australian coast. After a fierce battle both ships sank each other and they now lie in 2500 m (8200 feet) water depth, 200 km (125 miles) offshore from Shark Bay. This event is Australia's largest loss of life in a single maritime disaster - with the entire crew of 645 perishing on the Sydney and 82 crew lost on the Kormoran. The exact location of the two wrecks remained unknown for almost 70 years until they were discovered in 2008. The aim of the 2015 expedition was to conduct a detailed 3D imaging survey of the two wrecks and their extensive debris fields. A custom underwater lighting and camera package was developed for fitment to two work-class underwater remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) as often used in the offshore oil and gas industry. The camera package included six 3D cameras, and fourteen digital still cameras fitted across the two ROVs intended to capture feature photography, cinematography and 3D reconstruction photography. The camera package included six underwater stereoscopic cameras (three on each ROV) which captured a mix of 3D HD video footage, 3D stills, and 3D 4K video footage. High light levels are key to successful underwater photography and the system used a suite of ten LED underwater lights on each ROV to achieve artistic and effective lighting effects. At the conclusion of four days of diving, the team had collected over 500,000 stills and over 300 hours of HD footage. The collected materials will contribute towards the development of museum exhibitions at the WA Museum and partner institutions, and the development of a feature documentary. Another key technology being deployed on this project is photogrammetric 3D reconstruction which allows the generation of photo-realistic digital 3D models from a series of 2D photographs. These digital 3D models can be visualised in stereoscopic 3D and potentially 3D printed in full-colour to create physical reproductions of items from the sea floor. This presentation will provide an overview of the expedition, a summary of the technology deployed, and an insight into the 3D imaging materials captured. Author Biography: Dr Andrew Woods is a Research Engineer at the Centre for Marine Science & Technology and Manager of the HIVE Visualisation Facility at Curtin University. He has a strong background in stereoscopic 3D imaging, visualisation, 3D reconstruction, 3D cameras and displays, video electronics, underwater vehicles (ROVs), and engineering software development, with applications in offshore oil and gas, and maritime archaeology.

SD&A Keynote Presentation II Session Chair: Andrew Woods, Curtin University (Australia) Tues. 3:30 - 4:30 pm 3-D movie rarities   Robert Furmanek and Greg Kintz, 3-D Film Archive (United States) Abstract: Stereoscopic motion pictures have existed for 100 years, and the 3-D Film Archive - founded in 1990 - has a key role in saving and preserving these historic elements. Robert (Bob) Furmanek, founder of the Archive, will discuss the many obstacles and challenges in locating and saving these precious stereo images. For example, their scanning, panel-matching, and stereoscopic image matching techniques have been widely recognized for their efficiency and precision. As Bob will present, the full restoration process begins with 2k or 4k wet-gate scanning of the best surviving 35 mm elements. The films are then aligned, shot-by-shot, for precise alignment and panel matching of the left / right elements. The 3-D Film Archive's multi-step process also includes image stabilization, flicker reduction, color balance, and dirt clean-up. At one time, the 3-D Film Archive held the largest collection of vintage stereoscopic film elements in the world. As such, Bob will display some of his favorite clips on the SD&A stereoscopic projection screen. In addition, the Archive's first four releases on Blu-ray 3D have enjoyed acclaim: Dragonfly Squadron, The Bubble, 3-D Rarities, and The Mask. For the first time, contemporary viewers are able to see these films at home in quality equal to or greater than the original theatrical experience. Bob will also discuss how the Archive is working to save and restore additional Golden Age 3-D films through licensing and partnerships. Author Biography: In 1990, Bob Furmanek realized a majority of the world's 3-D film heritage was on the verge of being lost forever. In response, he founded the 3-D Film Archive, an organization dedicated to rescuing, preserving and restoring our stereoscopic heritage. Over the next two decades, Mr. Furmanek preserved over fifty 3D films, and at one point, the Archive held the largest collection of vintage stereoscopic elements in the world. Over the past two -and-a-half decades, he has worked with NBCUniversal, Paramount Pictures, MGM/Park Circus, 20th Century Fox, Warner Bros, George Eastman House, the British Film Institute, the Stanford Theater Foundation, UCLA Film & Television Archive, the Museum of Modern Art and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Most recently, Mr. Furmanek helped ensure the preservation of the 1954 feature GOG, and has spearheaded the home video release of the 1966 film THE BUBBLE through Kino and his own compilation of historically-important 3D shorts entitled 3D RARITIES through Flicker Alley. This compilation has since toured the country, selling out shows at such venues as the Museum of Modern Art.
