DESCRIPTION:In 1941 the Australian warship HMAS Sydney II was sunk with th
 e loss of all hands by the German raider HSK Kormoran off the coast of Wes
 tern Australia.  When the wreck site was discovered in March 2008\, the  w
 reck site was extensively photographed in 2D\, but unfortunately a 3D  cam
 era was not available.  CMST recently gained access to the archive  of 144
 3 still images and has been successful in extracting a selection of  true 
 stereoscopic 3D images of the wreck site.  The 3D images of the  wreck sit
 e provide a unique realism to the scenes\, which were not able to  be seen
  in 3D when the wreck was originally surveyed.  The 3D images have been ex
 tracted from the 2D photos archive\, using a process sometimes  known as "
 accidental-stereo".  Advanced image warping and  rectification algorithms 
 have been used to match selected 2D image pairs  and prepare the 3D images
 .  The presentation will discuss the  technique used to extract the 3D ima
 ges and show a selection of 3D images of the wreck site.\n\nAfter the talk
 \, there will be a 3D showing of a seven minute video\, in room SS07.
