19 SEMINOE RESERVOIR TRACKSITE, WYOMING Upper Jurassic Sundance Formation Pioneering Photogrammetric documentation was done of this unique pterosaur and sauropod tracksite. Well-preserved trackways of the quadrapedal walking behavior of pterosaurs preserved and intensively documented.

25 In 1998 Photogrammetry has rigorous requirements - A calibrated/metric Mapping Film Camera - Systematic Nader Stereoscopic Overlap of Photographs - Precise 3D coordinate control of the subject - Processing only on analytical stereoplotter designed for aerial photography completely manual process. Time from photo to terrain model: one footprint - approximately 1 week
26 In 2001 a technological breakthrough 3D Measuring and Modeling software (PhotoModeler) is used to calibrate and orient cameras. This turns the camera into a surveying instrument. Automated 3D terrain extraction is conducted on the aerialdigital photogrammetric workstation.
27 2001 Photogrammetric Documentation begins at the Twentymile Wash Dinosaur Tracksite, Utah TWENTYMILE WASH DINOSAUR TRACKSITE
28 When first surveyed in 1998 ~300 tracks were reported. After photogrammetric mapping over 1000 dinosaur footprint impressions and associated traces were mapped in 3D space.
29 Twentymile Wash is one of the first tracksites to be mapped solely using a photogrammetric aerial-digital workstation.

31 Trackway Analysis
32 2008 the Moccasin Mountain Tracksite, Utah is photographed from the ground and via helicopter Time from multiscale photos to terrain models: one tracksite - approximately 4 weeks.
33
34 PREHISTORIC TRACKWAYS NATIONAL MONUMENT, NEW MEXICO Early Permian Robledo Mountain Formation Newly (2009) designated BLM national monument containing a unique diversity of Permian life traces of international importance. Photogrammetric documentation was done of select tracks and trackways of amphibians, reptiles, and insects done both in the field and in museum collections.
35
36
37 TROTTERNISH PENINSULA, ISLE OF SKYE, SCOTLAND Middle Jurassic Kimalaug Formation Photogrammetric documentation of some of the first dinosaur footprints found in Scotland. Data normalized and used for correlations of tracks of similar age, morphology, and preservation in western North America.

48 PARIA CANYON-VERMILION CLIFFS WILDERNESS AND VERMILION CLIFFS NATIONAL MONUMENT, ARIZONA AND UTAH Lower Jurassic Navajo Sandstone Known for its geologic beauty, these areas are considered some of the premier canyon backpacking destinations in the world. Dinosaur tracksites preserve unique behavioral and preservational features of a desert fauna only preserved by traces. Preliminary reconnaissance photodocumentation of select areas was initiated in these areas, which will provide baseline data for future ichnological work and management decisions.
49
50 UHANGRI DINOSUR MUSEUM, HAENAM, SOUTH KOREA Upper Cretaceous Ubangi Formation Photogrammetric documentation was done of the unique preservational morphology of herbivorous dinosaur footprints for identification of sauropod or ornithopod characteristics.
51
52 TOADSTOOL GEOLOGIC PARK, NEBRASKA Oligocene Brule Formation Photogrammetric documentation was done at one of the most diverse Tertiary mammal tracksites, containing one of the longest known mammalian trackways. Documentation also included photogrammetry of the original, degrading rubber molds from the site, helping to preserve some of the original ichnological data.
53
54 TRACKING TECHNOLOGY 2010 Advances in structure from motion and muti-view matching result in a proliferation of available softwares which can be used to process overlapping images and produce terrain models. Apple introduces the ipad. Image Master Modeler Software
55 StereoScan = FREE Works with a single pair of overlapping (66%) of photographs Outputs include 3D pdf Time from photos to terrain model: one track - 15 minutes max.
56 Thank you for funding and/or logistical support to the Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, United States Forest Service, Bureau of Reclamation, University of Wyoming, State of Wyoming, and all colleagues, volunteers, and resource managers who encouraged and helped facilitate the photogrammetric documentation of ichnological resources.
