Site characterization using drone based photogrammetry
An emerging topic in geotechnical site characterization is using drones for rock mass characterization through Structure from Motion (SfM) photogrammetry. This study highlights a series of surveys utilizing a DJI Mavic II drone performed between July and August 2022 at an abandoned quarry in Clear …
