正澳门六合彩资料 can boast success once again as two PhD students have received awards from the Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry Society (RSPS) for their outstanding research.
Their research focussed on photogrammetry 鈥� the use of photography in mapping measurements between objects 鈥� and has been recognised by the RSPS.
Emily Norton was given one of the most prestigious awards, the Presidents Cup, for the best presentation to be shown at the RSPS Annual Conference in Glasgow. Emily鈥檚 research looks at how satellite imagery can be used to locate concealed and undiscovered mass-graves from wars or genocide.
To further add to their success, Heather Papworth was given the Wiley Award for Best Photogrammetric Contribution. Her award was given due to her research concerning the 3D measurement of damage and loss to archaeological sites using old aerial photos from World War Two to the present day. Regarding the future of her research, Heather has said: 鈥淚 believe that my work can now be taken forward for use by heritage bodies to better plan their management and conservation work on these important archaeological features.鈥�
The pair received their awards at the RSPS Annual Meeting in Aberystwyth and they were accompanied by Andrew Ford, a lecturer of geoinformatics at BU, who told us he was 鈥渟o very proud and just over the moon鈥� about his students鈥� success. Papworth recalled that she was 鈥渟hocked but elated鈥� on the announcement that she would receive the award.
