Abstract: Based on the principle of two-media photogrammetry and with islands UAV images, a test of two-media photogrammetry is carried out. Firstly, there is an introduction of the principle of two-media photogrammetry. In the following step, the two-media photogrammetry requirements on the accuracy of the refractive index of sea water is discussed. Then, a new method for calculating the elevation correction coefficient is developed. The test procedure of two-media underwater reefs depth measurement based on low-altitude UAV images of underwater reefs surrounding the islands is designed. The test shows that aerial two-media photogrammetry is feasible in practical application, but relatively high requirements for aerial photography conditions.

Key words: two-media photogrammetry, low-altitude UAV, elevation correction coefficient, underwater reefs
