This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).This equipment will be used to create accurate and realistic three-dimensional computer models of natural features and built structures. Modern, highly-accurate surveying instruments, and new technology known as "fused imagery" will be employed. Fused imagery combines rapidly acquired, laser-scanned, spatial point clouds (X-Y-Z data) with photographic color information for each scanned point. Research will include the creation of models of structures (buildings, bridges, highways, structural failures, etc.); topographic and geologic features (outcrops, fractures, surficial depressions, dunes and details of former shore lines, etc.); geomorphologic changes due to natural or artificial processes (coastal cliff erosion, landforms produced by active faulting, quarry walls and steps, earthwork, etc.); archaeological excavations (Civil-War fortification sites, prisoner-of-war sites, etc.); and studies in biogeography (identification of forest-floor vegetation and moisture influences on bird habitats).The diverse disciplines included in the work reflect the breadth of impact and resulting benefits to society in multiple fields. The work will advance building modeling techniques of architects, engineers, and construction professionals. The scope includes evaluating the rising sea level effect on the Georgia barrier islands while also enhancing current understanding of groundwater movement and potential sources of contamination. New information will be gathered on ground deformation associated with the San Andreas Fault. Benefits to society include public-oriented visually-enhanced interpretation of archeological sites, dissemination of visual images online and via on-site interpretive centers. Students at all levels will experience and interpret sites remotely. Significantly, the research will attract and motivate many students to strengthen their education with on-going undergraduate and graduate research experiences

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。该设备将用于创建自然特征和建筑结构的准确和逼真的三维计算机模型。 将采用现代化的高精度测量仪器和称为“融合图像”的新技术。 融合图像将快速获取的激光扫描空间点云（X-Y-Z数据）与每个扫描点的照片颜色信息相结合。 研究将包括建立结构模型（建筑物、桥梁、公路、结构故障等）;地形和地质特征（露头、断裂、地表洼地、沙丘和前海岸线的细节等）;自然或人为过程造成的地貌变化（海岸悬崖侵蚀、活动断层形成的地貌、采石场墙和台阶等）;考古发掘（内战时期的防御工事遗址、战俘遗址等）;研究工作中所包括的各种学科反映了在多个领域对社会的广泛影响和由此产生的惠益。 这项工作将推进建筑师，工程师和建筑专业人士的建筑建模技术。 其范围包括评估海平面上升对格鲁吉亚屏障岛屿的影响，同时还加强目前对地下水运动和潜在污染源的了解。 将收集与圣安德烈亚斯断层有关的地面变形的新信息。 对社会的好处包括面向公众的考古遗址的视觉增强解释，在线和通过现场解释中心传播视觉图像。 各级学生将远程体验和解释网站。 值得注意的是，这项研究将吸引和激励许多学生通过正在进行的本科和研究生研究经验来加强他们的教育
