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.
Using a drone to build 3D Structure-From-Motion models in New Zealand, Part 1: Evangelizing drones for science
Submitted by Sean_Barberie on Mon, 2016-06-06 13:25This 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.

Member Highlight: NASA Earth Observations
Submitted by annieburgess on Tue, 2015-11-17 16:00
NASA Earth Observations (NEO), celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2015, is a system that delivers global imagery of NASA Earth science data. The system was developed to meet the needs of an audience that has a desire to use images of NASA data but does not have the expertise or tools to locate, download and process the data themselves.
