dc.description.abstractHistoric cemeteries face ravages of time, weather, and vandalism. We first captured hundreds of images for each of several unindexed historic cemeteries. We then used a high performance computing system to orthorectify these images into ultraresolution (billions of pixels), georeferenced, tiled images. Here, we describe the interactive visualization we developed using these tiled images to enable volunteers to collaboratively map graves and identify burials. Our ongoing work tests the capacity of this visualization to enable coordination between volunteers with distinct and often asynchronous assignments, including photography, mapping, research, and restoration.en_US
dc.description.sponsorshipThe hardware used for the OpenDroneMap orthorectification is part of the UMBC High Performance Computing Facility (HPCF). The facility is supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation through the MRI program (grant nos. CNS-0821258, CNS-1228778, OAC-1726023, and CNS-1920079) and the SCREMS program (grant no. DMS-0821311), with additional substantial support from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC). See hpcf.umbc.edu for more information on HPCF and the projects using its resources.en_US
