Lectures
Due to the ongoing pandemic, face-to-face lectures are currently on hiatus. However, YAYAS is running a programme of online lectures via Zoom, the details of which can be found below.
There is no need to book a place and all our virtual lectures are free to attend - all you will need is an internet connection and to download Zoom.
Wednesday 7th April, 7pm
Yorkshire Archaeological Aerial Mapping
Tony Hunt
We had a small taste of Tony Hunt's work at our 2019 AGM. With the use of a drone, Tony is able to map and record archaeological sites without even setting foot on them. As Tony says:
"All images captured using our bespoke Infrared camera and processed by the also bespoke HHGVC algorithms. Not Lidar... not Photogrammetry and not Digital Elevation models - this is differential plant reflectance... and all our own research!" With these techniques, Tony is able to render a site in 3D with non-invasive methods.
