Developing the use of Structure-from-Motion in mass grave documentation

Highlights • We aim to improve mass grave documentation by using 3D Structure-from-Motion. • A mass grave was simulated and recorded using this 3D method. • It was found that analysis benefited in terms of time, costs, and possibilities. • Some limitations exist with regards to practicability and le...

Summary:Highlights • We aim to improve mass grave documentation by using 3D Structure-from-Motion. • A mass grave was simulated and recorded using this 3D method. • It was found that analysis benefited in terms of time, costs, and possibilities. • Some limitations exist with regards to practicability and legal admissibility. • In conclusion, SfM offers new perspectives, but requires further testing.
