Structure-from-Motion derived point clouds and orthomosaic images of deformed Foreknobs Formation within the Snyder Run syncline near Bergton, VA

February 13, 2025
This dataset consists of Structure-from-Motion (SfM) - derived point clouds and a highly detailed orthomosaic image of a roadcut exposure documenting the structural style of the middle part of the Late Devonian Foreknobs Formation within the Synder Run syncline near Bergton, Virginia. For the roadcut exposure, two datasets are published: an orthomosaic raster image and a point cloud. The orthomosaic raster image is a vertical outcrop orthomosaic constructed from multiple orthophotos to create a geometrically rectified image. This facilitates a detailed visual inspection of the stratigraphic succession outside of a GIS environment, unlike georeferenced orthomosaics derived from aerial imagery.
