This paper presents a novel method of unmanned aerial vehicle image processing using photogrammetric technique. The study area consist different slope class which involves undulating area around the Skudai area, Malaysia. All photogrammetric methods were applied in this study including selection of test area, flight planning, camera calibration and image processing orientation. A new ground con...

In this paper we demonstrate the workflow of 3D modelling and photorealistic texture mapping based on close range imagery acquired with a mini-UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) and in terrestrial mode. For generation of a highly accurate 3D model, a combined photogrammetric processing of these images was required. The conducted workflow consists of the following steps: project planning, flight plan...

UAV platforms are nowadays a valuable source of data for inspection, surveillance, mapping and 3D modeling issues. New applications in the shortand close-range domain are introduced, being the UAVs a low-cost alternatives to the classical manned aerial photogrammetry. Rotary or fixed wing UAVs, capable of performing the photogrammetric data acquisition with amateur or SLR digital cameras, can f...

The development of this article follows the search for a technique that automates the modelling and dynamics of any natural (dunes, slipping of mountainsides, glaciers...) or artificial (collapsing of buildings...) structure. In this study, the dynamics of the Argualas rock glacier (Pyrenees-Spain) has been investigated since 1991. A peculiarity of rocks glaciers is their sensitivity to environ...

The paper presents the current state of the ARPENTEUR project (ARchitectural PhotogrammEtry Network Tool for EdUcation and Research), and principally the new photogrammetric module, the 3D measuring and modelling module including an automatic DSM densification tool and the formalization of photogrammetric data in XML. This JAVA based package has been proposed as a WEB tool since 1998. It is now...

High accuracy and quality of photorealistic 3D modeling and visualization of close range objects can be achieved only with 3D scenes generated on the basis of photogrammetric data. Images and geometrical data for testing our original application were obtained from complex photogrammetric architectural object restitution. The object was recorded with a digital camera Kodak DC 4800 with 3.1 Megap...

This presentation offers some thoughts on the emergence (that is essentially to say the commercial acceptance and exploitation) of close range digital photogrammetric systems. The discussion is restricted to systems based on standard photogrammetric processes involving digital frame imagery. Systems are classified into three tiers which are distinguished not only by accuracy and cost, but also ...
