This document provides an overview of photogrammetry. It discusses that photogrammetry is a branch of surveying that uses photographs taken from aircraft or the ground to indirectly measure and map objects. The first uses of photogrammetry date back to 1840, but airplanes in the early 1900s greatly advanced the technique. Photogrammetry can be aerial or terrestrial, and has advantages like being cost-effective for large areas and allowing access to dangerous or inaccessible locations. It requires experienced staff and good weather conditions.
Hytola Engineering Oy used a UAV to take over 10,000 high resolution images over four days to map a 50 hectare quarry in Finland. 3D models and point clouds were processed from the images, with an average point density of 1250 points per square meter. Signal plates were placed as ground control points to georeference the 3D model. The UAV flew pre-planned routes to capture images from optimal distances and angles to the quarry walls given the desired 1 cm resolution. The large amount of image data was processed into accurate orthomosaics, 3D models, and a point cloud with over 1 billion points, allowing for various analyses of the quarry terrain.

Satellite and aerial images can be used to collect cadastral data. Satellite images with resolution of less than 1 meter can be obtained for Ethiopia. Reference points are needed to georeference images and software like ArcGIS can be used to digitize parcel boundaries. While satellite images provide an overview, boundaries drawn from them require field confirmation. Aerial photos provide higher resolution but are more expensive to capture. Both image types require ground truthing due to potential errors and changes over time.

This document discusses different types of aerial photographs used for mapping, including black and white, color, and near-infrared photographs. It also describes some basic elements of aerial photographs like fiducial marks and principal points. Finally, it outlines different types of geometric errors that can occur in vertical aerial photography, such as optical distortion, tilt, roll distortion, crab distortion, and pitch distortion, and how they are caused by factors like camera problems or aircraft motion.
This document discusses methods for calculating the heights of objects like trees and buildings from aerial photos. It describes the relief/radial displacement method, where the displacement between the top and bottom of an object seen in a single aerial photo is used along with the distance from the principal point to determine height. It explains that relief displacement occurs due to perspective projection and varies with object elevation relative to the datum. An example problem demonstrates using measured displacement and distance to calculate an object's height given the flying height.

2) It finds displacements of approximately 2 meters east-west and 1.5 meters south-north along the fault line through sub-pixel correlation analysis.
3) The results are comparable to field survey measurements and indicate a maximum right-lateral strike slip along the fault from the earthquake.

1) GCPs are points on the ground with known coordinates that are used to georeference aerial photographs. GCPs increase the overall accuracy of maps produced from aerial photos.
2) Flight planning involves determining the optimal altitude, overlaps between photos, and interval between exposures to ensure full coverage of the target area. Factors like wind and drift must be considered.
3) GCPs can be established before or after photography, and both horizontal and vertical control is needed with an ideal distribution across the project area. At least 3-4 G
Photogrammetry: Latest Technology to Create Maps Using Drones?NI BT
Photogrammetry uses photographs and measurements to create maps. Drones are increasingly used for aerial photogrammetry, as they are cheaper than planes and pose no risk to pilots. The document discusses how photogrammetry works by processing overlapping drone photos with software to generate 3D maps. It has many applications for construction professionals and allows creating detailed models and measurements from images.
The document presents an algorithm for extracting 3D geometrical features from synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images of ocean ships. It uses signal processing and optical image processing techniques to extract shape parameters like length, width, height, and relative angle to the radar. The algorithm first performs preprocessing on SAR images, then extracts projected ellipse features and estimates azimuth using nonlinear least squares estimation. Experiments on simulated fishing ship and ellipsoid SAR images show the algorithm can accurately extract length but has room for improvement in estimating width and height.
This presentation discusses scales used in photographs. It explains that scale is the ratio of an object's size in a photo to its actual size on the ground. Scale can be expressed through a unit equivalent, representative fraction, or ratio. Knowing the camera focal length and aircraft altitude allows one to determine the scale of a vertical photograph. The presentation was given by Mr. Amol V. Ghogare of SRES, SCOE, Kopargaon on the topic of scales used in photographs.

3 d model generation for deformation analysis using laser scanning data of a ...Artemis Valanis
This document summarizes research on using laser scanning to generate a 3D model of a cooling tower for deformation analysis. Laser scans of the interior and exterior were taken from 27 setup positions, registering over 22 million points with a mean error of 5mm. The scans were processed in Cyclone and Geomagic Studio to create a simplified polygonal mesh and NURBS surface model suitable for finite element analysis, exported to IGES format. Accuracy was evaluated against geodetic checks and a fitted hyperboloid, finding deviations mostly within ±3cm and ±20cm respectively. The process demonstrated laser scanning and modeling can provide adequate accuracy 3D models for structural analysis applications.
Photogrammetry is the science of obtaining information about physical objects through photographs, without needing direct contact. It involves measuring and analyzing captured images. The name comes from Greek roots meaning "light", "drawing", and "to measure". Key developments included using photography for mapmaking in the 1840s-1850s, the photogrammetric stereoplotter in the 1890s, and aerial photography from balloons and planes in the 1860s-1900s, advancing the field into the digital era.
Using reverse viewshed analysis to assess the location correctness of visuall...Hansi Senaratne
This document discusses using reverse viewshed analysis to assess the location correctness of geotagged photos from Flickr. The researchers analyzed photos of two landmarks in Berlin - the Brandenburg Gate and Reichstag. They categorized each photo based on whether the geotag and label were correct based on the viewshed analysis and manual inspection. Their results showed geotags and labels were less accurate for photos further from the landmarks and users with fewer total photos. The researchers propose using additional data like observer height and a weighted credibility score to improve location correctness assessment of visually generated VGI.
This document discusses various methods for measuring height from aerial photographs:
1. Relief displacement - The shift in location of an object in a photo due to its height. Height can be calculated using the object's displacement, flying height, and distance from the photo center.
2. Shadow length - An object's height is calculated using the length of its shadow, the sun's angle, and trigonometric functions.
3. Stereoscopic parallax - Taking photos of the same object from different positions and measuring the difference in the object's position between photos. Differential and absolute parallax values are used to calculate height.
Photogrammetry is the science of making reliable measurements using photographs, especially aerial photographs, and has evolved from early uses in surveying to include aerial photography from airplanes, satellite imagery, and most recently drone-derived imagery. It allows the creation of accurate maps and three-dimensional models through the process of extracting measurements from overlapping photographs. Since the Wright brothers' first flight, photogrammetry has advanced from using airplanes to capture early aerial photos for mapping to using satellites and drones to capture imagery on an ever wider scale.
This document discusses three methods for measuring height from aerial photographs: relief displacement, shadow length, and stereoscopic parallax. Relief displacement measures height by how far an object is shifted from its true position in an aerial photo due to its elevation. Shadow length measures height by using the length of an object's shadow and the sun angle. Stereoscopic parallax measures height by comparing the difference in an object's position between two overlapping aerial photos taken from different positions. Formulas are provided for calculating height from measurements obtained using each of these three methods.
1. Geometric distortions are inherent in remote sensing images and can occur due to several factors including the sensor optics and platform stability.
2. Sources of errors include the perspective of sensor optics, motion and orientation of the scanning system, stability of the platform, platform altitude and attitude, terrain relief, and Earth's curvature and rotation.
3. In mountainous regions, a satellite-based scanning system would be preferable to an aircraft-based system due to less amplification of geometric distortions from relief displacement and shadowing effects at satellite altitudes.
This document discusses point clouds generated from images taken with rolling shutter cameras on consumer drones. It contains the following key points:
1) Pix4D software can model geometric distortions from rolling shutter cameras to improve mapping accuracy, allowing drones to be flown at higher speeds.
2) Experiments show rolling shutter modeling improves results for all rolling shutter cameras, bringing accuracies to the usual 2-3 pixel range. It does not negatively impact accuracy for global shutter cameras.
3) Accuracy from rolling shutter modeling increases with drone flight speed, and global shutter cameras tend to be slightly more accurate than rolling shutter cameras.

Photogrammetry is the science of obtaining reliable information about physical objects through the process of recording, measuring, and interpreting photographic images. It allows the extraction of geometric information from photographs to create 3D models. There are two main types: aerial photogrammetry uses photographs taken from aircraft, while terrestrial photogrammetry uses ground-based photos. The fundamental principle is triangulation - by taking photos from different locations, lines of sight can be developed and the precise location of points can be determined through mathematical intersection of converging lines. Important applications of photogrammetry include topographic mapping, engineering and construction projects, archaeology, and military intelligence gathering.

Basics of 3D scanning and how structured light scanning worksSowmiya Siva
There are three main types of 3D scanning: infrared/time of flight, structured light, and photogrammetry. Structured light scanning works by projecting a pattern of stripes with varying light intensities onto an object, which allows cameras to determine depth values of different features based on the gradual drop off between stripes. The structured light pattern and cameras capture a point cloud representation of the object's shape and size digitally.
3D profiling uses a laser and camera to generate highly accurate 3D images of objects. It works by measuring the alteration of a fixed laser line projected onto an object from a camera at a known offset angle, generating thousands of profiles per second. This allows for extremely precise measurements of surface features, shapes, and defects at a micrometer level. 3D profiling is well suited for applications requiring non-contact measurement like quality control and inspection in manufacturing.

Julie Buquet, Applied Researcher for Imaging and AI at Immervision, presents the “Next-generation Computer Vision Methods for Automated Navigation of Unmanned Aircraft” tutorial at the May 2023 Embedded Vision Summit.
Unmanned aircraft systems (UASs) need to perform accurate autonomous navigation using sense-and-avoid algorithms under varying illumination conditions. This requires robust algorithms able to perform consistently, even when image quality is poor.
In this presentation, Buquet shares the results of Immervision’s research on the impact of noise and blur on corner detection algorithms and CNN-based 2D object detectors used for drone navigation. Specifically, she shows how to fine-tune these algorithms to make them effective in extreme low light (0.5 lux) and on images with high levels of noise or blur. She also highlights the main benefits of using such computer vision methods for drone navigation.

This document provides an overview of photogrammetry, including a brief history of aerial photography, definitions of key terms, and descriptions of different types of photogrammetry and imaging. It discusses the general photogrammetric process and products that can be created. Specific topics covered include the development of aerial photography from the 1850s onwards, definitions of photogrammetry, close range, terrestrial, aerial, and space photogrammetry, types of aerial images, photogrammetric mapping techniques, and historical photogrammetric plotting instruments.
The document discusses spatially augmented reality (SAR) and using projectors to augment real-world objects by projecting virtual images and textures onto them. It describes key challenges in SAR such as calibration, rendering, and handling shadows and reflections. SAR allows augmentation of wide areas with high resolution and avoids issues of body-worn displays. The document also discusses using photosensing RFID tags and a handheld projector to determine tag locations and enable interaction with augmented real-world objects.
3D Scanners and their Economic FeasibilityJeffrey Funk
These slides use concepts from my (Jeff Funk) course entitled analyzing hi-tech opportunities to analyze how the economic feasibility of 3D scanners is becoming better through improvements in lasers, camera ICs, and processor ICs. 3D scanning is both a complement to 3D printing and a technology with its own unique applications. 3D printing of complex objects can be done from a CAD database or from a 3D scan where a 3D scan can be done with laser or other sources of white light such as LEDs.
3D scanning can also be done for other purposes. For example, scientists and engineers are using 3D scanners to survey archeological, construction, crime scene, and engineering sites, to document maintenance and repair of engineered systems, and to customize medical and dental products for humans. Improvements in lasers, LEDs, camera chips, ICs, and other components continue to improve the economic feasibility of 3D scanning. Longer wavelength lasers increase the scanning range, better camera chips improve the scanning resolution, and better lasers, camera chips, and processor ICs reduce the scanning time. For example, third generation scanners from Argon, one leading supplier, have 100 times higher resolution and one tenth the scan times of Argon’s first generation system.
For costs, lasers make up the largest percentage followed by camera and processor ICs. For example, lasers make up 80% of the hardware cost for one high-end system with a current cost of $1346 and a price of about $3000. As laser costs fall and as volumes enable smaller margins, the price of such systems will fall.
For the same reasons, low-end systems continue to emerge. These include Microsoft’s Kinect and an app for the iPhone. Microsoft’s Kinect was $150 while the app was only $4.99, both in early 2013. As such low-end systems proliferate, and high-end systems continue to get cheaper, 3D scanning will find new applications.
The document discusses various measurement instruments used in metrology including a clinometer, autocollimator, optical square, laser scanning micrometer, laser interferometer, McLeod gauge, planimeter, LVDT, tool maker's microscope, telescopic gauges, and coordinate measuring machine. It provides details on their working principles and applications in measuring angles, lengths, distances, diameters, depths, and other geometric features. Several examples of their usage in engineering inspection and calibration are given.

This document discusses terrestrial and close-range photogrammetry. It describes how terrestrial photogrammetry involves photographs taken from cameras on the earth's surface, which can be handheld, mounted on tripods, or suspended. Close-range photogrammetry refers to terrestrial photos taken from up to around 300 meters. Various applications of terrestrial photogrammetry are discussed, including topographic mapping, traffic accident reconstruction, and measuring objects that are otherwise inaccessible. Analytical self-calibration methods are also summarized, which allow camera calibration parameters to be solved for directly during photogrammetric processing.

2) The technique involves acquiring spherical images with a Garmin VIRB 360 camera, processing them in Agisoft Photoscan Pro to generate point clouds, and importing point clouds into Revit for 3D CAD modeling.
3) Accuracy is evaluated by measuring errors between reference scales and points in images and calculated angle delineations, finding standard deviations of 9.23 degrees for outdoor and 0.8 degrees for indoor environments.
Image characterisation & aerial photographic film technologypritiverma34
A digital image is composed of a two-dimensional grid of pixels, where each pixel represents an area on the ground and has an intensity value and location address. Both digital images and analog photographs can be represented this way. Digital images have higher spatial, spectral, and radiometric resolutions than analog photographs, allowing for more detailed analysis. Aerial photographs can be analog, captured on film, or digital. Common film types include color, color infrared, black and white, and video films suited for different remote sensing applications.
