The purpose of this project is to collect qualitative characteristics of a site. This is an alternative mapping technique, that will hopefully begin to describe a site in terms other than cartesian coordinates. The method of data collection is to triangulate the site, taking sequential photos from three points, documenting the use of the site, mainly occupancy. I would like to synthesize this collection of imagery in such a way that each photo can be cross referenced with its two counterparts, then further compared to the sequential photos. These comparisons will reveal fixed objects found within the site and changing objects, and between these two points will reveal descriptive qualitative data. I do not yet know how this will be done, perhaps via a series of Photoshop of Processing filters, or through an arraying of a point grid, that can then be further expressed in Grasshopper.
As an overall idea, this process should be deployable and repeatable. An entire city or neighborhood could be scanned, then each of the mappings can be combined. This is an experiment in creating a method of qualitative data gathering.
ps. I have to reshoot the site, I didn't double check the camera settings
