Detailed Description

USGS scientist Mark Bauer reviews the imagery being acquired from a UAS at the Cimarron Canyon in New Mexico

Due to the complex nature of mapping vertical faces, NUSO used unique photogrammetric UAS data collection techniques including the use of a stabilized gimbal with vibration dampening that allowed scientists to push smaller lens apertures, achieving a sharply focused set of overlapping images covering a considerable depth-of-field.

NUSO researchers worked with USGS geologists in September 2021 to establish and test unique photogrammetric data collection techniques utilizing UAS along the Paleocene Poison Canyon Formation in the Cimarron Canyon.
