About

Eleni Diamanti is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of marine robotics, computer vision, and underwater cultural heritage preservation. Her work focuses on developing advanced visual sensing and 3D mapping methodologies for documenting submerged archaeological sites with unprecedented precision. In her landmark 2024 review, "Visual sensing on marine robotics for the 3D documentation of Underwater Cultural Heritage," she synthesized the field's state-of-the-art, earning 24 citations and establishing a foundational reference for researchers worldwide. Diamanti's most impactful contribution is a novel method for visual-based 3D mapping that addresses the entire lifecycle of underwater robotic missions—from planning and real-time operation to offline processing—significantly advancing data quality in marine archaeology. Her 2021 study on the M/S Helma wreck demonstrated a multi-camera system capable of capturing high structural complexity, solving a persistent challenge in 3D reconstruction of intricate underwater sites. With her work bridging simulation environments and real-world scenarios, Diamanti is shaping the future of non-invasive archaeological documentation, enabling researchers to explore and preserve our submerged heritage with robotic precision and scientific rigor.
