S22 | Dig Watch: Knights Hospitaller Preceptory: Site Map (Photogrammetry)
🕑 Added 2022-09-29 19:47:35 +0000 UTCSince Time Team has returned, we've transported you back to the Iron Age, Roman Britain, and the early Medieval period, to investigate an Anglo-Saxon Cemetery.
While there's still so much more to share of our Norfolk dig, it's time now to transport ourselves to a more recent period of history... about three weeks ago to be precise!
This weekend, we're heading back to Time Team's dig earlier this September: a Knights Hospitaller preceptory in Shropshire, near the Welsh border. Are you ready? Here we go...
Day Zero
The Data Dome and tents have been erected, the team are arriving on site from all four corners of Britain, and we're getting ready for another exciting three days ahead.
To kick things off, here's our first photogrammetry site map, created from Adam's aerial survey in advance of the team's arrival. On each day, we'll be revealing a new version of the map, overlaying new layers of data to reveal a fuller picture of the site.
NOTE: Map is strictly for personal viewing and not for distribution or publication!

I agree, MORE emails, please! They're wonderful.

Lot of interesting crop marks. Will love seeing what John's survey makes of it all, what is actually there.

I think in the USA it's called 'photographic tile', as used in map georeferencing.
Time Team
We've got some interviews with Adam coming up, talking more about what he does - photogrammetry incorporates a range of different techniques and ways of collecting/representing data from the landscape, which can be presented either in 3D or 2D.

Thanks

"Orthorectified'...sounds like a medical procedure! Ah, so looks like multiple photos creating a larger image rather than a 3D model(?). I did not know that was also termed photogrammetry, but I dont see why not. Stitched together in one plane, rather than lots of angles to create a 'model'.
Time Team
Hi Mark, we'll need to defer to our expert Adam to confirm exact details, but essentially this is aerial photography and photogrammetry, in that the image has been created from multiple aerial photos taken by the drone and then later stitched together digitally to create a map of the landscape. Technically it's an orthomosaic image, which obviously means that it has been 'photogrammetrically orthorectified' - remember that one next time you're playing Scrabble!

What do you mean - 'too many emails?' Not enough - more please! π
Mark Lund
Looking forward to all the upcoming info. But surely this is an aeriel photo, rather than photogrammetry, i.e. 3D? Have I missed the point somewhere?
Chrina Jarvis
