The accuracy of vertical position information can be degraded by various sources of error in digital aerial photogrammetry (DAP) based point clouds. To address this issue, we propose a relatively straightforward method for automated correction of such point clouds. This method can be used in conjunction with any 3D reconstruction method in which a point cloud is generated from a pair of aerial …
Tightly-coupled sensor orientation, i.e. the simultaneous processing of temporal (GNSS and raw inertial) and spatial (image and lidar) constraints in a common adjustment, has demonstrated significant improvement in the quality of attitude determination with small inertial sensors. This is particularly beneficial in kinematic laser scanning on lightweight aerial platforms, such as drones, which …
The progressing industrialization of oceans mandates reliable, accurate and automatable subsea survey methods. Close-range photogrammetry is a promising discipline, which is frequently applied by archaeologists, fish-farmers, and the offshore energy industry. This paper presents a robust approach for the reliable detection and identification of photogrammetric markers in subsea images. The prop…
Forest diebacks pose a major threat to global ecosystems. Identifying and mapping both living and dead trees is crucial for understanding the causes and implementing effective management strategies. This study explores the efficacy of Mask R–CNN for automated forest dieback monitoring. The method detects individual trees, delineates their crowns, and classifies them as alive or dead. We evalu…
BIM is a powerful tool for the construction industry as well as for various other industries, so that its use has increased massively in recent years. Laser scanners are usually used for the measurement, which, in addition to the high acquisition costs, also cause problems on reflective surfaces. The use of photogrammetric techniques for BIM in industrial plants, on the other hand, is less wide…
Among photogrammetric products, orthophotos are probably the most versatile and widely used in many fields of application. In the last years, coupled with the spread of semi-automated survey and processing approaches based on photogrammetry, orthophotos have become almost a standard for monitoring the underwater environment. If on land the definition of the reference coordinate system and proje…
