Lessons learnt
Don’t underestimate volunteers Added political
benefits!
Technology and the volunteer Hi tech or low?

Why are “tips” necessary?
Remote sensing- meeting industry needs with NERC expertise, 6th April 2011
Stated activity! Past experiences-
particularly postgraduates/ volunteers
Two sets!
Who contributed?
Remote sensing- meeting industry needs with NERC expertise, 6th April 2011
Primarily WG Officers
Also notable input from industry!
including:
Marko Tuomien, Datapix Pty Ltd, Queensland, AustraliaStephen Bird, Fluvial Systems Research Inc, Whiterock, Canada
Start simple- start small!
150 small format images of a river channel in Spain- I fly next week and my supervisor doesn’t know about photogrammetry!

Common sense!
Familiarisation- techniques and how software works!
Start with: Small test area captured with perhaps two pairs Ideally use a pre-calibrated camera Establish abundant photo control- easy restitution plus checks
Which camera?
All cameras have spatial measurement potential!
Remote sensing- meeting industry needs with NERC expertise, 6th April 2011
Digital SLR!
Fixed or variable zoom lens?
Never purchase “top of the range”
Camera calibration
Necessary for accurate spatial data acquisition!

What software? Matlab, PhotoModeler, IWitness, etc.

Photo acquisition:• Infinity focus/f8
• Fastest shutter speed possible/tripod
• Obtain redundant imagery
Control Don’t skimp! Well distributed Withhold 20% and use as “checkpoints”
Visit site prior capture images “in pairs/triplets”
