Damaris has a small entry on her work currently looking at the Shuttle damaged tiles. We had a similar project at STC where we would look at the belly of the shuttle using an HD camera at 60 frames per second and eventually provide 3D photogrammetry of the belly of the Orbiter from several hundred meters down.
One of the thesis of the subject was done by Paul Gersting at Texas A&M University under Johnny Hurtado and Mark Lemmon and was entitled: A photogrammetric on-orbit inspection for orbiter thermal protection system
. When the shuttle would perform the RPM (Rendez-Vous Pitch Maneuver or shuttle back flip) below the International Space Station, our HEOCam system would have been able to evaluate impact depth as Paul shows in his work.The IPAM/UCLA Graduate Summer School on Probabilistic Models of Cognition: The Mathematics of Mind has finished. The presentations and webcasts can be found here.
