Modern digital cameras are increasing in quality whilst decreasing in size. In the last decade, a number of waterproof consumer
digital cameras (action cameras) have become available, which often cost less than $500. A possible application of such action
cameras is in the field of Underwater Photogrammetry. Especially with respect to the fact that with the change of the medium to
below water can in turn counteract the distortions present. The goal of this paper is to investigate the suitability of such action
cameras for underwater photogrammetric applications focusing on the stability of the camera and the accuracy of the derived
coordinates for possible photogrammetric applications. For this paper a series of image sequences was capture in a water tank. A
calibration frame was placed in the water tank allowing the calibration of the camera and the validation of the measurements using
check points. The accuracy assessment covered three test sets operating three GoPro sports cam.....
