Portland, OR: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Research Station. 340 p. Land management professionals (foresters, wildlife biologists, range managers, and land managers such as ranchers and forest land owners) often have need to evaluate their management activities. Photographic monitoring is a fast, simple, and effective way to determine if changes made to an area have been successful. Ground-based photo monitoring means using photographs taken at a specific site to monitor conditions or change. It may be divided into two systems: (1) comparison photos, whereby a photograph is used to compare a known condition with field conditions to estimate some parameter of the field condition; and (2) repeat photo- graphs, whereby several pictures are taken of the same tract of ground over time to detect change. Comparison systems deal with fuel loading, herbage utilization, and public reaction to scenery. Repeat photography is discussed in relation to land- scape, remote, and site-specific systems. Critical attributes of repeat photography are (1) maps to find the sampling location and of the photo monitoring layout; (2) documentation of the monitoring system to include purpose, camera and film, w e a t h e r, season, sampling technique, and equipment; and (3) precise replication of photographs.

Basic Theory The aim of this experiment is to determine the focal lengths of several different lenses. Afterwards we will use these lenses to build some simple optical instruments. First, we consider image formation by thin lenses. The relationship between the focal length f of a lens, the object distance g, and the image distance b determines the ratio of the image height B to the object height G. In Fig. 1 the two right-angled triangles on the left and right sides of the lens are similar. Figure 1: Construction to find the image position (1) for a thin lens using three principal rays: i.e. the = = focal-, parallel-, and central rays. − We can rearrange this equation to get the lens equation for thin lenses: 1 1 1 or .

    Microscopic 3D measurement of shiny surfaces based on a multi-frequency phase-shifting scheme Yan Hu,a;b Qian Chen,a;y Yichao Liang,a;b Shijie Feng,a;b Tianyang Tao,a;b Chao Zuoa;b;∗ aJiangsu Key Laboratory of Spectral Imaging & Intelligent Sense, Nanjing University of Science and Technology, Nanjing, Jiangsu Province 210094, China bSmart Computational Imaging (SCI) Laboratory, Nanjing University of Science and Technology, Nanjing, Jiangsu Province 210094, China [email protected] ∗[email protected] Abstract Microscopic fringe projection profilometry is a powerful 3D measurement technique with a theoretical measurement accuracy better than one micron provided that the measured targets can be imaged with good fringe visibility. However, practically, the 3D shape of the measured surface can hardly be fully reconstructed due to the defocus of the dense fringes and complex surface reflexivity characteristics, which lead to low fringe quality and intensity saturation. To address this problem, we propose to calculate phases of these highlighted areas from a subset of the fringe sequence which is not subjected to the intensity saturation. By using the proposed multi-frequency phase-shifting scheme, the integrity of the 3D surface reconstruction can be significantly improved. The ultimate phase maps obtained from unsaturated intensities are used to achieve high-accuracy 3D recovering of shiny surfaces based on a phase stereo matching method. Experimental results on different metal surfaces show that our approach is able to retrieve the complete morphology of shiny surfaces with high accuracy and fidelity.

  • MAS 450/854: Holographic Imaging Lab Notes
    MAS 450/854: Holographic Imaging Lab Notes #3: IN-LINE HOLOGRAPHIC OPTICAL ELEMENTS Introduction: When a diffraction grating has a constant groove spacing, or spatial frequency, it deviates an incident beam by a constant angle (which varies with the wavelength of the light). If the spatial frequency varies smoothly with location, the deviation angle also varies smoothly. Thus rays passing through different areas of the grating will no longer be parallel to each other, but may be converging toward each other, or diverging, separating from each other. If the spatial variation of spatial frequency is just right, light from everywhere on the grating will converge at exactly the same point downstream, so that the grating behaves like a perfect “positive” lens. Or, the rays might appear to be diverging from a single common point (or both at the same time). It might be possible to generate such a groove pattern mechanically, after much computation, but it is much easier to do it holographically, by recording the interference pattern produced by two point sources at different distances. Often, one of these sources is a point focus produced by a lens, and the resulting hologram will mimic some of the focusing properties of that lens. One might consider it as a hologram of the lens itself, a sort of “optical clone” of the original lens. In this lab, you will make and study an in-line hologram of a lens that has been chosen to produce interference fringes that are, in places, coarse enough to be seen with a simple magnifier, and in other places, fine enough to produce significant angles of diffraction.

Introduction Some interpretive programs are enhanced by the use of audiovisual equipment (A/V). A/V presentations range from the very basic, such as using a flip chart, to much more sophisticated computer - and projector-integrated presentations. This module will provide a brief overview of the various tools that might help you to provide personal interpretive programs that appeal to the eyes and ears of your target audience. We will discuss their advantages, disadvantages, proper operation, care and maintenance, and some basic principles of photography. California State Parks’ Access to Parks Guidelines (Department of Parks and Recreation, 1993, p. 38) defines A/V programs as “…informational, educational, entertainment programs that are transmitted by auditory and/or visual means. This includes, but is not limited to, audio tape cassettes, sound systems, video tapes, films, slides, and interactive audio/video displays. Audiovisual programs shall be presented and available from integrated and accessible locations.” In our fast-paced world, technology seems to be driving much of what our visitors have come to expect. But do not be misled, the program styles that Enos Mills, John Muir, and Galen Clark offered over a hundred years ago are still very well received and appreciated.

    Presented at the Electronic Media Group Session, AIC 40th Annual Meeting, May 8–11, 2012, Albuquerque, NM. FADING OUT: THE END OF 35 MM SLIDE TRANSPARENCIES TINA WEIDNER ABSTRACT This paper refects on the challenges facing conservators dealing with the preserva- tion and display of slide-based works in fne art collections following the discon- tinuation of the last remaining slide duplicating stock, Kodak Edupe, in March 2010, and the imminent demise of this analog technology. This paper explores the strategies currently available to conservators and the rapidly decreasing timeframe in which action will need to be taken. INTRODUCTION There are moments in the history of conservation when objects are radically al- tered in order to preserve what was most valued at that time. For example painted surfaces from panel paintings have in the past been stripped from their wooden support and re-adhered to canvas. The arguments justifying these decisions un- doubtedly appeared compelling at the time, only to become highly controversial centuries later.
