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.
