Multiple Reflection Techniques Used to Measure and Model a British Cannon Recovered from the Battle of Yorktown

Volume 1, Issue 2

Richard A. Uhal, Steven D. Hand, Colleen Brady Cunniffe, Marcie Renner

The utilization of a noncontact laser radar, multiple-reflection measurement technique was employed to generate an accurate 3D model of an historic artifact, both on exterior and interior surfaces. The artifact scanned was a “four-pounder” British...

Photogrammetric Antenna Surveys at Subfreezing Temperatures on Black Island, Antarctica

Volume 1, Issue 2

David Svesko, Thad Ayers, Russell Morrison

In November 2005 VertexRSI, a division of General Dynamics C4 Systems based in Kilgore, Texas, conducted site surveys on both a 7.2-m Ku-band antenna and an 11-m C-band antenna on Black Island, Antarctica. In addition to the site surveys, several...

High-Precision Photogrammetry Using RGB Color Information

Volume 1, Issue 2

Thomas Luhmann

This article discusses the possibilities of using all three channels of a true color image for high-precision photogrammetric 3D point measurement. After a survey of common types of digital color sensors, the wavelength-dependent imaging errors of commonly...

Measurement Techniques Used to Boresight, Flight Qualify, and Align the 2-Meter High Gain Antenna for NASA’s New Horizons Mission to Pluto

Volume 1, Issue 1

John R. Troll, Ron Schulze

It takes a large antenna to send data over billions of miles. This article presents how the New Horizons antenna was developed, as well as some interesting lessons learned from the use of differing metrology techniques. Measurements were made on a 2.1-m...
