Data and Report from S&T Project 22096: Alternative methods for collecting data for photogrammetric crack mapping of interior cavities of buttress dams: Development of methodology and demonstration at Stony Gorge Dam
Review of alternative methods for obtaining photographs for use in photogrammetry crack mapping of Stony Gorge buttress dam. The report discusses several methods, limitations, estimated costs, and required materials. Results indicate unmanned aerial systems are the preferred methods due to lower labor costs and completeness of data collection.
