The feasibility of unmanned-aerial-vehicle-based photogrammetry was assessed for the reconstruction high-resolution topography and geomorphic features quarries by nadir off-nadir imagery. test site a quarry located in rural area Turi (Bari, southern Italy). Two processing scenarios were created. Nadir images initially used, acquired with angles added. An accurate set ground control points (GCPs) surveyed both georeferencing purposes validation processes. In surfaces, an accuracy few...
Underwater photogrammetry is increasingly being used by marine ecologists because of its ability to produce accurate, spatially detailed, non-destructive measurements benthic communities, coupled with affordability and ease use. However, independent quality control, rigorous imaging system set-up, optimal geometry design a strict modeling the process are essential achieving high degree measurable accuracy resolution. If proper photogrammetric approach that enables formal description...
The present paper explores the combination of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) photogrammetry and three-dimensional geomechanical modeling in investigation instability processes long sectors coastal rocky cliffs. need a reliable detailed reconstruction geometry cliff surfaces, beside characterization rock materials, could represent very challenging requirement for sub-vertical cliffs overlooking sea. Very often, no information be acquired by alternative surveying methodologies, due to absence...
Marine animal forests are benthic communities dominated by sessile suspension feeders (such as sponges, corals, and bivalves) able to generate three-dimensional (3D) frameworks with high structural complexity. The biodiversity functioning of marine strictly related their 3D present paper aims at providing new perspectives in underwater optical surveys. Starting from the current gaps data collection analysis that critically limit study conservation forests, we discuss main technological...
Detecting the impacts of natural and anthropogenic disturbances that cause declines in organisms or changes community composition has long been a focus ecology. However, tradeoff often exists between spatial extent over which relevant data can be collected, resolution those data. Recent advances underwater photogrammetry, as well computer vision machine learning tools employ artificial intelligence (AI), offer potential solutions with to resolve this tradeoff. Here, we coupled rigorous...
Recently, the severe intensification of atmospheric carbon has highlighted importance urban tree contributions in mitigations city areas considering sustainable green planning and management systems. Explicit timely information on trees their roles Carbon Stock (CS) are essential for policymakers to take immediate actions ameliorate effects deforestation worsening outcomes. In this study, a detailed methodology CS calibration mapping was developed small area Sassuolo Italy. For dominant...
The relationships between hillslope and fluvial processes were studied in a mountainous area of the Northern Apennines (Italy) where intermittent landslide activity has interacted for long time with river morphodynamics. aim study was to analyse such two sites Scoltenna catchment. analysed detail monitored through time. A long-term analysis carried out based on multitemporal photointerpretation aerial photos. Slope morphological changes land use modifications since 1954 detected compared...
The scope and scientific purpose of this paper focuses on multiscale (aerial terrestrial) photogrammetry as a support to investigations interpretations in multi-component archaeological site located the Argentinian Cordillera (Calchaquí, Salta), known Tacuil. Due its scarce accessibility, well long-term problems associated with interpretation visibility type settlement, use aerial surveying was combined reconstruction structures complex soil morphologies by resorting modern photogrammetric...
The proper inspection of a cracks pattern over time is critical diagnosis step to provide thorough knowledge the health state structure. When monitoring propagating on planar surface, adopting single-image-based approach more convenient (costly and logistically) solution compared subjective operators-based solutions. Machine learning (ML)- based solutions offer advantage automation in crack detection; however, complex time-consuming training must be carried out. This study presents simple...
Abstract. Underwater photogrammetry is a well-established technique for measuring and modelling the subaquatic environment in fields ranging from archaeology to marine ecology. While simple tasks acquisition processing of images have become straightforward, applications requiring relative accuracy better then 1:1000 are still considered challenging. This study focuses on metric evaluation different off-the-shelf camera systems making high resolution measurements coral reefs monitoring...
Marine communities are facing both natural disturbances and anthropogenic stressors. Bioconstructor species endangered by multiple large-scale local pressures the early identification of impacts damages is a primary goal for preserving coral reefs. Taking advantage recent development in underwater photogrammetry, use photogrammetry fluorimetry was coupled to design, test validate laboratory multi-sensor measuring system that could be potentially exploited open water SCUBA divers assessing...

In mountain environments, slope and fluvial dynamics often interact, their relationship can be investigated through an integrated methodological approach. Landslides are a source of supplying sediments into riverbeds interact or interrupt the water course. Water courses trigger re-activate movements. The complexity investigating interaction between two needs complementarity methods techniques, combining remote proximal sensing, geotechnical in situ surveys, repositories catalogue datasets....
