Over the past year I've been experimenting with semi-automatic segmentation of archaeological discrete features from photogrammetric models. This is a quick and interactive method that allows the creation of 3D volumetric meshes. I'm currently working on releasing the .blend files for this as well as some documentation. #archaeology #blender #digitalarchaeology #3D

Heritage conservation starts with a clear vision of a site's challenges and potential. Orthographic images are an essential tool for the conservation and management of historic buildings, landscapes and archaeological sites. They provide quick, accurate and scalable depictions of structures without perspective distortion. Our images help architects, planners, archaeologists and conservation teams analyse details, plan restoration work and document cultural heritage in great detail. From intricate facades to hidden structural challenges, our data supports informed decision-making to safeguard authenticity.

A fascinating article about neolithic mega-settlements in the Ukraine. I appreciate how the GIS Analyst highlighted the darkness of the mounds and surrounded them with a white glow. The contrast helps the reader see how vast the site is. Moreover, they paired this map with an illustration (posted in the comments) that brings this study to life. After reading this article and seeing the visuals, I hope pairing maps and illustrations will become more commonplace! https///https://lnkd.in/gP7m7-aj #GIS #GISmapping #ArcGISPro #ESRI #cartography #topography #geography #archaeology #illustration

🌳 The #SCATTER project has spent the past year creating detailed 3D models of some of the UK’s most famous ancient oak trees. 🍃 Using laser-scanning #LiDAR technology, researchers from multiple institutions mapped 40 veteran oaks to uncover insights into their carbon storage and inform better conservation strategies. 💡 ⏩ Check out the stunning 3D models of these iconic trees and learn more about this innovative research. #AncientTrees #NationalTreeWeek #TheTreeCouncil

#30DayMapChallenge---- İstanbul Big Island Vintage Map Day 7: Vintage-- In this map, I combined my passion for cartography with nostalgia by recreating one of Istanbul's most iconic locations, Buyukada, in a vintage style. Using QGIS, I aimed to capture the atmosphere of old maritime maps. To evoke the spirit of the sea, I added parchment textures and a blue sea background, incorporating traditional ship icons like those seen in historical maps. 🗺️🚢 #GIS #MapDesign #Geography #30DayMapChallenge #DataVisualization #QGIS

Did you know land surveying dates back to ancient Egypt? The first historical record of a land survey is 5,000 years old! From ancient Egypt to modern projects, accurate surveys remain crucial. At First Choice Surveying, we continue this legacy of precision and expertise. #firstchoice #landsurvey #landsurveying #surveying #surveylife #surveyors #geomatics #mapping #topography #business #realestate #surveyingflorida #lakemonroe #lakemonroeflorida #florida #fl #floridabusiness

Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519) was a Renaissance polymath known for his contributions to art, science, engineering, anatomy, and more. Born in Vinci, Italy, he epitomized the Renaissance ideal of the “universal genius.” Some of his most famous works include: 1. Mona Lisa - Renowned for her enigmatic expression, this portrait is one of the most famous and studied artworks in history. 2. The Last Supper - A depiction of Jesus and his disciples during the moment he reveals one of them will betray him. 3. Vitruvian Man - A drawing symbolizing the blend of art and science, showcasing ideal human proportions. 4. Scientific Studies - Da Vinci sketched detailed studies of anatomy, mechanics, and botany, demonstrating his forward-thinking approach to science. Leonardo was also an inventor, conceptualizing designs for flying machines, armored vehicles, and hydraulic systems. His notebooks, filled with sketches and observations, highlight his insatiable curiosity and genius.

🌳 With support from us, the #SCATTER project has spent the last year making detailed 3D models of some of the UK’s most famous old oak trees. 🍃 Researchers from UCL Department of Geography, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, and the National Centre for Earth Observation visited 40 ancient and veteran oaks and made 3D models of each tree using a laser-scanning technique known as #LiDAR. ❓ The architecture of #AncientTrees is often very complex. This makes it hard for scientists to determine how much carbon they have sequestered, and which conservation measures are most effective. 💡 These 3D tree maps will help researchers trying to solve these mysteries and form a unique digital archive that anyone can view! ⏩ Swipe through to see detailed 3D maps of the UK’s widest oak, Northern Ireland’s oldest tree and others! 👉 Learn more about the SCATTER Project and see more 3D tree models here: https://lnkd.in/e3uyhEDw #NationalTreeWeek The Tree Council

Day 6: Raster (Late) Volcán Arenal 🌋 Today’s #30DayMapChallenge map showcases a 3D model of Volcán Arenal, created using raster data to represent the terrain's elevation and shape. The map highlights the volcano’s rugged topography and provides insights into the geological features of this iconic landmark. Raster-based models are crucial for visualizing landscapes in 3D, offering a detailed understanding of elevation changes and surface variations.
