About
Rodrigo Torres is a leading figure in underwater archaeology and digital heritage preservation, with a focus on advancing photogrammetric techniques for submerged cultural sites. His most influential work, "Multi-Image Photogrammetry to Record and Reconstruct Underwater Shipwreck Sites" (2016), has garnered 83 citations and revolutionized the documentation of fragile underwater environments. Torres pioneered the application of structure-from-motion and dense point cloud modeling to create high-fidelity 3D reconstructions of shipwrecks, enabling non-invasive, precise recording that preserves context while minimizing physical disturbance. This methodology has become a standard in maritime archaeology, allowing researchers to virtually reconstruct and analyze sites that are otherwise inaccessible or at risk of degradation. His contributions extend to developing best practices for underwater data acquisition, including lighting and camera calibration protocols tailored for low-visibility conditions. Torres’s work has been instrumental in bridging archaeology and computer vision, and his techniques are now used globally for heritage management and public engagement. Recognized for his innovative approach, he continues to shape how underwater cultural heritage is studied and shared, making complex sites accessible to both scholars and the public.
