Structure-from-motion for MAV image sequence analysis with photogrammetric applications

Blog Article

MAV systems have found increased attention in the photogrammetric community L-Arginine as an (autonomous) image acquisition platform for accurate 3D reconstruction.For an accurate reconstruction in feasible time, the acquired imagery requires specialized SfM software.Current systems typically use high-resolution sensors in pre-planned flight missions from far distance.

We describe and evaluate a new SfM pipeline specifically designed for sequential, close-distance, and low-resolution imagery from mobile cameras with relatively high frame-rate and high overlap.Experiments demonstrate reduced computational complexity by Endcap leveraging the temporal consistency, comparable accuracy and point density with respect to state-of-the-art systems.
