With exponential increases in digital camera resolution, the last 10 years have witnessed major advances in the use of image analysis in geotechnical engineering. This presentation highlights the history of photography and image analysis in geotechnical engineering. It describes a database of over 100 references describing the use of image analysis in four geotechnical areas: site characterization; earth mass characterization; particle characterization; motion and deformation. The presentation then focuses on development of image analysis systems for particle size and shape characterization at the University of Michigan. These include the Translucent Segregation Table (TST), Sedimaging, the Vision Cone Penetrometer (VisCPT), Stereophotography, Optical Flow and Digital Microphotography.
Roman D. Hryciw is a Professor of Civil Engineering at the University of Michigan. He holds degrees in Civil Engineering from Drexel University (B.S. 1981) and Northwestern University (M.S. 1984 and Ph.D. 1986). His research interests include site characterization, in-situ testing, instrument development, image analysis, soil improvement and soil dynamics. Prof. Hryciw was the Editor-in-Chief of the ASCE Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering (2000-2003). He is presently the Chair of the Geo-Institute's Technical Coordination Council. Prof. Hryciw's national awards include: the James M. Robbins Excellence in Teaching Award (1990, 2004); the ASCE Thomas A. Middlebrooks Award (1999) the North American Geosynthetics Society Grand Award of Excellence (1997) and the ASCE Arthur Casagrande Professional Development Award (1993).
