The basic principle of close range (terrestrial) photogrammetry will be explained in this section. “Photogrammetry is the art and science of deriving accurate metric and descriptive information from analog and digital images” (Habib et al., 2006; Habib Ghanma Al-Ruzouq Kim a; Ayman Paper A.F. Habib, K.I. Bang, M. Aldelgawy). Wolf, 1983 defined the photogrammetry as the art, science and technology of obtaining reliable information about physical objects and environment through the process of recording, measuring and interpreting photographic images and patterns of electromagnetic radiant imagery and other phenomena. It is obviously stated, in the definition, that photogrammetry can be used 3D model of real objects for many areas of discipline such as geological and geotechnical engineering, archeology, architecture, biomedical engineering, civil engineering, and environmental science. Photogrammetry is non-intrusive, cost-effective, is ideal for recording data of a complex nature, has high level of achievable accuracy, uses digital data which results in total flexibility across a multitude of platforms, plus images may be catalog and compared over time. The 3D data from imagery reconstructed through a photogrammetric triangulation (bundle adjustment) technique using converging overlapping images from different viewpoints around the area of interest.
Photogrammetry can be divided into two categories: aerial and close range (terrestrial) photogrammetry. Aerial photogrammetry
In Sky land people were living as they do today on earth. In the center of this land existed a Sky tree that provided food for people in Sky land. Aataentsic, the old chief of Sky Lands wife , cuts down the tree to give the fruit that lies at the very top of the tree to heal her sick husband. However, as soon as she struck the tree, it spilt in half , toppled over and formed a hole in sky land. After the tree falls into the hole , Aataentsic belives that without that without the sky tree , there can be no life , therefore , Aataentsic follows the tree. After Aataentsic threw herself into the hole , turtle called together all the water animals to form an island on top of his back to save Aataentsic life as she gently settled on the new earth.
There are many ways that an archeological site can be observed, for example, aerial photography such as satellite pictures can be used. Also when carrying out an excavation on a low budget, which is very common in most cases, a low-flying kite can replace the satellite (Roskams, page 43). More recently the more common availability and use of drones could also be used to get live aerial data from above. Many sites are more apparent from above, and New Kinord is a great example as you can see some of the stone circles clearly, see figure 2 below.
Often the two become confused: lives and human tragedy are considered a product, something that will engender interest and thereby generate revenue. The greater the suffering, the more successful the program and the greater market share.
Images were analyzed in GIS to identify and map features such as woody debris, rock outcroppings, shifting versus stable sand, and smooth limestone bottom.
We believe this chapter gave a better understanding on globalization and migration. In “Remotely Sensed”, we recognized that the women that volunteer to be trafficked for sex work are usually migrant women who have difficulties providing for their families and finding jobs where they are from. This causes them to resort to prostitution, because they see it as the only job that could earn them enough money to provide for themselves and their families. We often see influential people with power speak about helping women get out of prostitution. Yet those same people in power support the state which holds on to the structures which refuses to give women equal working opportunities. This causes us to wonder if they are really interested in putting an end to human sex traffic or will continue to let it occur as it creates and puts money in the
Methods used included, taking GPS points at different rock units and marking them onto an aerial map to distinguish bearings and lithologies, traversing the area, and identifying rock and fossils types.
They sift every spoonful of earth, and they map in 3-D where each scrap of bone, corn, pottery, and shell bead comes from. They even keep track of where the dirt changes color.Cahokia Mounds State ,where a mystery was partly solved when workers at another dig a few miles away found a bald cypress log three feet in diameter in such a hole. The "bathtubs" were post pits, shaped to make it possible to ease huge posts into them. It soon became clear that the prehistoric "Cahokians" had indeed designed and put in place a circle of posts. And not just any circle: if you stood at its center on the mornings of the spring and fall equinoxes (usually March 21 and September 21 in our calendar), you would see the sun rise from behind a post. It 's lucky for us that Mississippian culture survived Cahokia 's decline and abandonment around 1300 and was still around in 1539, when Hernando de Soto tried to conquer what is now the
According to the book Photography by Stephen Bull “Instead of the opposing aspects of nature and culture that were embedded within the identity of photography when it was conceived should both be embraced as integral to the medium.” When Abelardo Morell made his photographs he wanted people to pay atten¬tion and to under¬stand that there’s more to see¬ing life than what we think we thing we see, we need to see things from a different per¬ceive. Abelardo Morrell made cityscape bloom on white bed¬sheets, and the Golden Gate Bridge on the ground. He exper¬i¬mented with many different ranges of tech¬niques, most common technique that he uses is the tent cam¬era and the kind of portable which helps make the cam¬era obscura technique that shows the photographs of different land¬scape onto the ground and different surfaces. Abelardo Morell wanted everyone to see that life isn’t black or whit it is not up or down, the world is full of different possibilities. Amazing things can be anywhere and everywhere you just have to open up your eyes.
Technology is changing rapidly every single day, they can change anything positively or negatively. Luckily for us, a major positive change has happened in the archaeology field, greatly impacting archaeologist’s data and findings. This air borne laser sensor, Lidar (Light Detection And Ranging) (Hopkins, 2014) is taking the archaeology field by storm. Before LiDAR archaeologists had to dig through thick vegetation and undergrowth in Mesoamerica in search for ancient cities, artifacts, and fossils. This was not only time consuming it was inaccurate. LiDAR was the solution to their problem, this is a laser based tool that penetrates through deep forest canopies and creates large volumes or 3D measurements (Chase Et Le., 2012)helping scientists
The thin atmosphere and low humidity has made the desert the best place to study space. Thus, there is geology, astronomy and archaeology all in the same place. The astronomers look for the past of eons ago, the archaeologists are looking for the past of 10’000 years ago, and the women are looking 30 years in the
Evidence of almost 100 of the stones has revealed without the need to excavate the site, due to remote sensing, ground-penetrating radar and geographical imaging technologies. These advancements in science and technology allow researchers to discover the historical monuments full extent. Fragments of bones, stones and the foundation pits in which they were situated have all been uncovered during excavations and technological mapping indicating the true size and importance the site was to the Neolithic
This field photo was taken in Location C, 19° north, 73° east, and this can be seen through the physical geography of Location C. First, the physical features of Location C prove that this picture was taken in Location C. Location C's physical features include the western coast of India, and the elevation is 0-1,000 feet. This picture shows that it is raining very hard and the streets are flooded. One can infer that since Location C is on the western coast of India and has a low elevation, floods are prone to this location. Also, since Location A is located in a desert and deserts do not have high populations or this much rain, this picture cannot have been taken in Location A. This photo could not have been taken in Location B either because
After going missing, Lynda Mann, was found raped and murdered. Forensic examination of semen sample showed that it was from someone with type A blood. However, the police did not find a suspect. 3 years later, Dawn Ashworth, was sexually assaulted and strangled the same way as Lynda Mann and semen sample showed the same. Richard Buckland, who worked at Carlton Hayes psychiatric hospital, had been spotted near Dawn Ashworth’s murder scene and knew details about the body. In 1986, he confessed to Dawn Ashworth’s murder but not Lynda Mann. Using new technique, scientists compared the semen samples with the blood sample from Richard Buckland. This proved that both girls were murdered by the same man, and also proved that Richard Buckland didn’t
Everyone has experienced moments of severe anxiety and panic in their lives. Stressful situations can throw our minds into turmoil, causing extreme negative impacts on our bodies. However, there are people who suffer from moments like these far more often than the average person. These people also experience panic in situations that would not seem very stressful to others. This type of recurrent, extreme panic episode is called panic disorder, and it falls under anxiety disorders, a broader category of mental health issues.
Reflecting on the past several years, Fr. Arrupe’s famed words, “Men for others,” has greatly influenced my life as a high school student. The phrase “men for others” was derived from the Fr. Arrupe’s quote “men and women for others” and it almost serves as the second motto of the Saint Ignatius high school. I believe Fr.
