3D Battlefield  Images from
The Siege of Atlanta



The 19th century images are from an 1875 map of the siege of Atlanta compiled and drawn under the direction of Orlando Poe.  The aerial photography combines lower resolution digital orthophoto quarter quads (DOQQs) and higher resolution full-color photography of the Georgia Tech area.  The images were generated by Erdas Virtual GIS software.  Annotations were added in Powerpoint.
