Speaker: Woody Higdon, Geology Imagery Specialist, Geo-Tech Imagery International.
Topic: Computer Based Stereo Photo Analysis for Geologists |
Abstract:
Stereo pair images from a number of investigations including the 2007 Soledad Mt. Landslide will be used to discuss the various types of computer based stereo viewing technologies, and software. The pros and cons of active and passive viewing glasses and software will be covered, as well as their cost, or in some cases, little to no cost. Anaglythic stereo images (red / blue card board glasses) will be used throughout the talk to demo various analysis, communication, planning, and documentation capabilities. Stereo images can also be imported into GIS and other software for additional stereo capabilities.
Anaglythic glasses will be supplied, however, if you have your own red / blue glasses bring them along.
Speaker Information:
Mr. Woodrow L. Higdon (Woody) obtained his degree with a major in Geology from Cal State University Long Beach in 1975, and worked for Leighton and Associates, Irvine, as a staff geologist until 1979. Woody then formed his company, Geo-Tech Imagery (GTI), which has specialized in Land Use Imagery for the past thirty (30) years. He did post graduate studies in remote sensing imagery through Harvard University in 1981. Woody plans, generates, analyzes, and reproduces all types of images (areal, ground, and underwater in both photography and video) for all aspects of land use from acquisition through investigation, construction, litigation, and marketing, to final sale documentation. GTI has over 250,000 frames (+) of standard color, false color infrared, black and white, and side scan radar imagery in its mapinfo GIS cataloged library. Woody has sold GIS Software and Data, and consulted and trained others in GIS since the early 1980’s.
Woody is a former Recon Marine with specialized training in Airphoto Interpretation, Combat Photography, and Underwater Photography from Naval Diving Schools. Upon discharge from the Marines, he became a police officer for the cities of Santa Ana and Garden Grove, California, which included forensic photography as part of his patrol duties. Photography and video support skills include Naval Diving Schools certifications, PADI Diving Instructor Certification, and Helicopter Pilot Certifications with more than 30 years of experience.
GTI’s in-house support capabilities include high resolution digital image scanning, digital image editing, GIS encoding and image rectification, non-linear real time digital video editing, and high resolution large and small format 48 bit color & 16 bit gray scale print reproduction.
