Archaeogeomancy

As I now tend to write about all sorts of random stuff on here, I’ve set up a new blog called Archaeogeomancy which focuses solely on my research and work interests. The name is a bit of fun, a play on words if you will, based on archaeological geomatics ;-) After all, archaeological geomatics and geomancy can be seen to be closely related in a number of ways, the modern day GIS practitioner and the geomancer both interpret the spatial arrangement of patterns on the earth…

Enjoy!

And now for something completely different…

Laser scanning

Having been posting about all kinds of random stuff of late, I will soon get back to some archaeology. Just for a change. I’ve been busy of late at work with a number of laser scanning survey and photographic projects and will be posting some results over on my Wessex Archaeology blog. As such, in addition to using Pointools quite a lot, I’ve also been tinkering with some photographic bits n bobs (HDR, stitching, rectification and more panoramas) which I will post about also. So rest assured, some more on topic material coming soon as I’ll summarise the work stuff here also.

As this blog is a bit of a mixed bag, tending to go wherever the mood takes me, I would recommend using the categories to filter out anything you’re not interested in.

Esri have boosted their presence with the release of ArcGIS 10, its updated desktop, web and mobile components and associated resources. Continue reading
