Photogrammetry for Historic Preservation
B. Vander Jagt
UAS based photogrammetry has proven to be a great technique to document
historic buildings by creating high-resolution models that can be used for
rehabilitation or basic documentation.
The ability to cover large areas relatively quickly with a UAS to create high-resolution
topography models using photogrammetry has revealed new insights into famous
archaeological sites.
