Droning the Castle Hill Rock Formation and Building 3D Models with Photoscan & Drone2Map

Submitted by Sean_Barberie on Sun, 2016-07-10 09:34

This blog entry is part 2 of a short series on my recent research trip to New Zealand. Here I show the data collection and construction of a Structure-from-Motion 3D model of the Castle Hill rock formation. I use both Agisoft Photoscan and ESRI ArcGIS Drone2Map for the data processing. Come back soon for a post on placing seismometers on Tasman Glacier and collecting drone imagery of the terminus, and a post on science of opportunity and building models of glacial lake icebergs.

This blog entry is part 1 of a short series on my recent research trip to New Zealand. Here I show a rough test case of building Structure-From-Motion models using imagery from a DJI Phantom. Come back soon for a post on using Structure-From-Motion on the Castle Hill rock formation, a post on placing seismometers on Tasman Glacier and collecting drone imagery of the terminus, and a post on science of opportunity and building models of glacial lake icebergs.

Learning to Use More Than a Hammer: A Review of the Software Carpentry Workshop

Submitted by Sean_Barberie on Thu, 2015-10-29 16:27

There's an old saying that when the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. I know, it's cliched and painfully overused, but stay with me here. In the world of working with scientific data, and processing data using a computer and a programming environment, this--cliched or not--is the situation many young scientists find themselves in.
