In no way was it clear to me whether or not the images were the renderings that was produced, I'm aware of photogrammetry and the limitations of the underwater photographs (hence my question), I even have experience doing computer vision with underwater ROVs and their limited cameras (though ours had good field-of-view). The problem is that with their captions, I first assumed that it's a photo used for photogrammetry. Or rather, I thought it was a mosaic of photos, all of which were used for photogrammetry. If I were the NYT and didn't want these to be mistaken for photographs, I'd label them as "renderings of a photogrammetric model" or such. As it is, a "photogrammetric image" could be one of several things. In retrospect, there are some tell-tale signs (like the edge of the model where the ground is discontinuous).
