Title
Stone Weirs Investigation by using Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Photogrammetry
Description
Stone weirs are a traditional fishing method as well as an important underwater cultural asset of Taiwan. There
are about 600 stone weirs in Penghu and more than 100 of them in the western coastal area of Taiwan that are
still in use. This study utilized high resolution UAV photogrammetry and spatial analysis techniques to
investigate the stone weirs of Qimei and Jibei islands in Penghu as well as the Houlong coast in Taiwan. By
stitching aerial photos, the overall picture and Digital Elevation Model (DEM) of stone weirs could be
understood. The technology developed by this study is able to provide a standard mode for the large-scale
investigations in the Asia-Pacific region, and the database developed is able to become the basis of
cross-disciplinary research.
