Operational Procedure for Automatic True Orthophoto Generation

چکیده
Orthophoto imagery is a valuable layer in a GIS because it provides a generic, inexpensive, and accurate base map. However, in cities with tall buildings it is difficult to create a seamless database of orthophoto imagery. Traditional methods for orthophoto rectification disregard buildings. In this paper, we describe a fully automated process, developed by ASI, that creates true orthophotography,” i.e. seamless imagery without building lean. In particular, we present a new mosaicking method, which automatically chooses the “best” imagery. We also present an automatic method for optimal seaming, which reduces the visibility of the seam line. Examples from Lower Manhattan, New York City, are presented.

Urban Image True Orthorectification in The National Map Program
The large-scale urba n orthoimage generation is being deployed in all level government agencies and private sectors. However, the early procedures and algorithms for digital orthoimage generation in the National Digital Orthophoto Program (NDOP) were based on earlier USGS mapping operations, which have not considered the urban case so that the Standard for Digital Orthophoto formulated by USGS ...
متن کاملAnalysis and the Solutions for Generating a True Digital Ortho Photo in Close Range Photogrammetry
Digital orthophoto is an image where the relief displacements and the camera's tilt have been removed. So it is an efficient, inexpensive and accurate approach for purposes such as evaluation, analysis or measurement of the objects presented in the images. For this reason digital orthophoto has occupied an important place in spatial database in GIS. The traditional orthophoto is based on Digita...

This paper presents a photogrammetric methodology for true-orthophoto generation with images acquired from UAV platforms. The method is an automated multistep workflow made up of three main parts: (i) image orientation through feature-based matching and collinearity equations / bundle block adjustment, (ii) dense matching with correlation techniques able to manage multiple images, and true-orth...
متن کاملAspects on True-Orthophoto Production
In many occasions orthophotos in the background of GIS applications enrich their presentation. Often they serve for data capturing. Geometrically such images posses a defined, homogeneous geometry. One produces orthophotos since several decades with ever increasing demands and performance in quality and quantity. However, large-scale city orthophotos using standard algorithms and procedures typ...
متن کاملExperimental Realization of Urban Large-scale True Orthoimage Generation
When using the traditional orthorectification methods to generate urban large-scale orthophoto, there exist many problems, for example, the spatial objects of orthoimage in urban areas are distorted from their true positions. This distortion shows that buildings lean over a street. Recent years, some researcher addressed the concept of true orthophoto. This paper mainly discusses the problem of...
