Profile:
ENGINEERING PHOTOGRAPHY is the combining of photographic and optical techniques with engineering measurements procedures. Areas of specialization are: VISIBILITY STUDIES - Motion picture, computer image, video, and/or still photography, with related analysis, accurately depicting visibility under conditions relevant to the subject incident. Visibility studies can be performed, and proper foundation established, day or night. COMPARISON PHOTOGRAMMETRY - Analog techniques of determining measurements of skidmarks and other objects from accident scene photographs. Analog techniques involve overlapping measurements grids included in a comparison photograph taken from the same viewpoint as the accident photo. The result is usually more accurate than purely mathematical approaches, and is easily understood by any viewer. COMPUTER VIRTUAL REALITY SIMULATIONS - Video, film, still photos, and/or art work computer-combined in film or 3-dimensional video presentations. VIDEO - High speed (slow motion) or broadcast quality video recordation of vehicle testing, machine operations, or accident events.
