This collection comprises images from a Photogrammetry Survey at Minsden Chapel, Hertfordshire which was undertaken by SUMO Geosurveys.

Two photogrammetric surveys were conducted at Minsden Chapel in order to record the historic structure prior and subsequent to restoration works. The first survey was conducted in May 2021 and the second in October 2022. The main outputs of elevations and orthophotos have been included in this digital archive, along with a detailed selection of the photogrammetry photographs from each of the surveys.

The surveys involved the placement of target mats around the perimeter of the chapel, the locations of which were recorded using a Trimble GPS unit to facilitate georeferencing to OS co-ordinates. Following this, a UAS (Unmanned Aircraft Systems DJI Mavic 2 Pro and DJI Mavic Mini 3) was operated above, and around, the site. Photographs, taken in RAW format, were captured at regular intervals with an overlap of more than 60 percent between images. The flights included a grid over the monument to capture vertical photos, across each elevation to capture horizontal photos, and obliques around the edges and wall tops to tie the model together.

The photographs were converted to JPEGs in the office and processed using Agisoft Metashape to produce a digital 3D model. Elevations, orthophotos, and DEMs (Digital Elevation Models) were generated from the model.

The survey successfully produced a photographic and photogrammetric record of Minsden Chapel prior and subsequent to restoration works.
