Description:
The traditional study of palaeoseismic trenches involving logging, stratigraphic and structural interpretation can be time-consuming and affected by biases and inaccuracies. To overcome these limitations, we present a new workflow that integrates infrared hyperspectral and photogrammetric data to support field-based palaeoseismic observations. As a case study, this method is applied on two palaeoseismic trenches excavated across a post-glacial fault scarp in northern Finnish Lapland. The hyperspectral imagery (HSI) is geometrically and radiometrically corrected, processed using established image processing algorithms and machine learning approaches, and co-registered to a Structure-from-Motion point cloud. HSI-enhanced virtual outcrop models are a useful complement to palaeoseismic field studies as they not only provide an intuitive visualisation of the outcrop and a versatile data archive, but also enable an unbiased assessment of the mineralogical composition of lithologic units and a semi-automatic delineation of contacts and deformational structures in a 3D virtual environment.
Uploaded data:
14 individual 3D point clouds (ascii format) from two palaeoseismic trenches, including two structure-from-motion photogrammetric RGB point clouds and 12 hyperspectral-enhanced point clouds.
Data headers contain point coordinates in m (ETRS89/UTM35N), RGB color (0–255), and point normals (only for SfM RGB point clouds) in the following order: X, Y, Z, Red, Green, Blue, Nx, Ny, Nz.
