Day three in Kauai: Go Team Field!

June 21, 2012

The archaeological field team (aka Team Field) hiked out to the heiau today. We set up and utilized pole-aerial-photography (PAP), which is basically attaching a camera to a pole and taking pictures. Super high tech. This took up most of the morning; we ended up with ~400 photos but had barely put a dent in the structure. We later tried to put a mosaic together of all these photos in Photoscan, but it didn’t work well. After lunch, we helped the graduate students from University of Hawaii fly their fixed-wing and kite photography. It was a super awesome experience, and Chuck and Dave (the said grad students) are amazing at what they do. We will use these photos tomorrow for some analysis.
