Christopher Davis of University of Illinois at Chicago talks at the  
first Fine International Conference on Gigapixel Imaging for Science,  
November 11-13 2010 at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA.

While doing archaeology at a rock art site, several panoramic pictures  
were taken of ancient drawings - some were measured-by hand, but  
others were not. Subsequent interest in the non-measured drawings  
arose and a method for determining the dimensions of the panoramas  
were explored in order to use the photo as a map that can be measured  
freely in future analysis.

Objectives: Determine measurements and dimensions in vertical surface  
panoramas; Simple calculations utilizing field-of-view and distance-to- 
camera measurements to determine the dimensions; Geo-reference photos  
in a map program - drape within a grid system using software to  
measure any dimensions of any objects in the image.
