Image Measurement Techniques in Rock Glacier Modelling
نویسندگان
چکیده
Rock glacier is a rare case of study for 3D modelling. We use a stereo feature-based method and multi-view stereo reconstruction algorithms to get different types of cartography. The proposed method has been tested in a real rock glacier example (Veleta in Sierra Nevada, Spain) for producing maps with good results. This rock glacier is of high scientific interest because it is the southernmost active rock glacier in Europe and it has been analyzed every year since 2001. The research on the Veleta rock glacier is devoted to the study of its displacement and cartography through geodetic and photogrammetric techniques. * Corresponding author. This is useful to know for communication with the appropriate person in cases with more than one author.

Estimation of Rock Glacier Dynamics by Environmental Modelling and Automatic Photogrammetric Technics
The development of this article follows the search for a technique that automates the modelling and dynamics of any natural (dunes, slipping of mountainsides, glaciers...) or artificial (collapsing of buildings...) structure. In this study, the dynamics of the Argualas rock glacier (Pyrenees-Spain) has been investigated since 1991. A peculiarity of rocks glaciers is their sensitivity to environ...
متن کاملNumerical modelling of the underground roadways in coal mines– uncertainties caused by use of empirical-based downgrading methods and in situ stresses
Numerical modelling techniques are not new for mining industry and civil engineering projects anymore. These techniques have been widely used for rock engineering problems such as stability analysis and support design of roadways and tunnels, caving and subsidence prediction, and stability analysis of rock slopes. Despite the significant advancement in the computational mechanics and availabili...
متن کاملPhotogrammetric Methodology for the Production of Geomorphologic Maps: Application to the Veleta Rock Glacier (Sierra Nevada, Granada, Spain)
In this paper we present a stereo feature-based method using SIFT (Scale-invariant feature transform) descriptors. We use automatic feature extractors, matching algorithms between images and techniques of robust estimation to produce a DTM (Digital Terrain Model) using convergent shots of a rock glacier.The geomorphologic structure observed in this study is the Veleta rock glacier (Sierra Nevad...
متن کاملGeochemistry and Source Waters of Rock Glacier Outflow, Colorado Front Range
We characterize the seasonal variation in the geochemical and isotopic content of the outflow of the Green Lake 5 rock glacier (RG5), located in the Green Lakes Valley of the Colorado Front Range, USA. Between June and August, the geochemical content of rock glacier outflow does not appear to differ substantially from that of other surface waters in the Green Lakes Valley. Thus, for this alpine...
متن کاملRock Glacier Outflows May Adversely Affect Lakes: Lessons from the Past and Present of Two Neighboring Water Bodies in a Crystalline-Rock Watershed
Despite the fact that rock glaciers are one of the most common geomorphological expressions of mountain permafrost, the impacts of their solute fluxes on lakes still remain largely obscure. We examined water and sediment chemistry, and biota of two neighboring water bodies with and without a rock glacier in their catchments in the European Alps. Paleolimnological techniques were applied to trac...
