Cameras for time-lapse photography.
Motor-driven, cam-controlled cameras are particularly suitable for simple time-lapse photography. External intervalometers can be arranged to control the duration of each exposure to compensate automatically for widely varying light intensities.
Time lapse photography of clouds.
The equipment and procedures used in preparing more than 15,240 m of 16-mm time lapse movies of atmospheric clouds is described. Such photographic records are of great value in establishing a dynamic cloud census of a specific area. Operational techniques, the support diagrams, and the optimum time intervals in use for different types of records are presented.
Study on quantitative earthquake damage of Dujiangyan city, caused by 2008 MS=8.0 Wenchuan, China earthquake based on aerial imagery
The paper introduces quantitative earthquake damage estimation method based on remote sensing data. The quantitative remote sensing seismic damage index based on building damage extracted from the aerial image of Dujiangyan city proper, southwest China's Sichuan province, which acquired after 2008 Ms=8.0 Wenchuan earthquake. The actual seismic damage indices were determined by the ground-based investigation in the city proper. Then their quantitative relationship was established. The results indicate that it is possible to build quantitative model of remote sensing seismic damage, which will enhance significantly the practicality applying the remote sensing in emergency acquisition and analysis of seismic disaster.
