Handheld photogrammetry advances capabilities to systematically characterize broken‐rock habitat
Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.We developed a novel workflow using handheld photogrammetry to map and quantify fine‐scale habitat characteristics in broken‐rock patches, enabling detailed assessment of structurally complex habitats. Using structure‐from‐motion and image segmentation techniques, we generated high‐resolution digital elevation models and orthomosaics to classify cover ...
