Tomakin is a small coastal town south of Batemans Bay in NSW Australia. My fiance and I holiday there and find it a great place to relax.
Me being a rock doctor I always keep an eye out for interesting geology and to my surprise Tomakin has some great formations! I won't go into detail at the moment but I will show you some images of some caves that I think are the Tomakin Turquoise mines. I can't find any information relating to these mines but Geoscience Australia links the same spot to the mines. To make it more interesting I took some overlapping images from different view points so I could process them in photogrammetric software. I did this so I could create a 3D model or Digital Terrain Model of the mines. You can see below I have taken some shots from different views in the processing software.
It would be great if any one could add more info.

Nice work Robert. Did you take all of the photos from the ground? Which software did you use? I am interested in doing some photogrammetric quarry face mapping.
ReplyDeleteHi, Doug! I particularly use COLMAP and MeshLab to render, which are free. But you can also use PhotoScan which has both functions and is very easy to use. It can use from a smartphone (with a good camera), but the ideal is a DSLR
DeleteBut what I REALLY liked was the use of VRML !! SUPER!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhy did not you render the VRML with the photo?
