This paper presents a system for the three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of an underwater environment on the basis of multiple range views from an acoustical camera. The challenge is to provide the reconstruction on-line, as the range views are obtained from the sensor. The final target of the work is to improve the understanding of a human operator driving an underwater Remotely Operated Vehicle. The acoustic camera provides a sequence of 3D images in real time. Data must be registered and fused to generate a unique 3D mosaic in the form of a triangle mesh, which is rendered through a graphical interface. Available technologies for registration and meshing have been modified and extended to match time constraints. Some experiments on real data are reported.
