Photogrammetry for Historic Preservation
J. Davis
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 some of Ohio’s most famous archaeological sites.

Ben Vander Jagt
President & Co-Founder of PixElement
Dr. Vander Jagt received a B.S. degree in Surveying from FSU, an M.S. degree in Photogrammetry from Purdue, and Ph.D degree in Geodetic Science from OSU. Dr. Vander Jagt’s subject matter expertise and deep familiarity with target markets guides the product roadmap. When not making 3D maps for construction, engineering, and surveying, you can find him wandering about with a 2D map in hand, trying to find a new fishing spot.
