The Caorle 1 shipwreck (II-I BC) is located in the upper Adriatic sea at about 28 m under sea level and at 12 nautical miles from the coast of Bibione; so from the legal point of view, it is therefore at the limit of the territorial waters. With the aim of protect this site, the Superintendency has started a collaboration with the University of Udine in order to develop a video surveillance system. The project involves the creation of an apparatus capable of continuously monitoring both the body of water above a submerged site and the actual site. Indeed the system, developed in an energy au-tonomous way, involves sending video streams, collected by underwater cameras installed at various points of the shipwreck, to a management and sorting system located on a buoy, on which additional cameras are placed to also record the surface. The acquired images are also transmitted in real time via satellite to a remote server and recorded. This allows both their distribution for remote use on the web or in a virtual station in the museum.

Abstract
The Caorle 1 shipwreck (II-I BC) is located in the upper Adriatic sea at about 28 m under sea level and at 12 nautical miles from the coast of Bibione; so from the legal point of view, it is therefore at the limit of the territorial waters. With the aim of protect this site, the Superintendency has started a collaboration with the University of Udine in order to develop a video surveillance system. The project involves the creation of an apparatus capable of continuously monitoring both the body of water above a submerged site and the actual site. Indeed the system, developed in an energy au-tonomous way, involves sending video streams, collected by underwater cameras installed at various points of the shipwreck, to a management and sorting system located on a buoy, on which additional cameras are placed to also record the surface. The acquired images are also transmitted in real time via satellite to a remote server and recorded. This allows both their distribution for remote use on the web or in a virtual station in the museum. The surface images are instead aimed solely at keeping the area monitored, thus constituting the main element of deterrence.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
