First day in Malta

We've had a very productive first day orienting to Malta and meeting with our international collaborators.

Seeing some of the data that the Finnish divers, Immi Wallin and Kari Hyttinen, have acquired in the IT faculty building at the University of Malta (thanks Matthew!)

Immi, Api, Chris, Matthew Montebello,Timmy, Kari, Katie and Ian

On the campus of the University of Malta discussing marine archeology with Immi (specifically methods for removing silt from ship wrecks for mapping)

Timmy showing us an amphora removed from a Phoenician wreck (http://www.sci-news.com/archaeology/science-phoenician-shipwreck-malta-02118.html)

Planning in Timmy's office.

And the AUV finally cleared customs so Chris and Api could replace the batteries and get it ready for missions tomorrow.

Meanwhile, Katie and Ian worked testing Agisoft to reconstruct a 3D scene from still images using photogrammetry.
