A daily briefing of the archaeology and history of sites around the world.
Today Tristan Boyle speaks to Adam Stanford of Aerial Cam. Aerial Cam are a Specialist Archaeological Photography service employing the latest techniques, equipment and software to produce high quality evidence photography and 3D visualization of heritage assets.
On today's show we talk to Sean Adams of 3 Points in Space Media, a 3D imaging and drone aerial survey company. They've not only got the knowledge, but, they have the gear to take your project to the next level.
Drone use in archaeology continues to increase in popularity. In archaeology, researchers are using drones to increase orthoimage resolution, record aerial videos, and develop digital elevation models and point clouds. These new types of media play into the ever-increasing web of digital documentation of archaeological sites, features, and human landscapes past and present. It is a good idea as data stewards to form a better understanding of how we record data and how to apply the right technology for the application at hand. In this episode, we compare a few UAS units, to see how we can make better use of their capabilities while learning about the perks and possible limitations of available hardware.
In our final recording from the 50th Annual Society for Historical and Underwater Archaeology Annual Meeting in Fort Worth, Texas we talk to Eric Stackpole of Open ROV about their underwater drones and what you can do with them.
