Feature matching for multi-epoch historical aerial images

Feature Matching for Aligning Historical and Modern Images

Provision of historical information based on geographical location represents a new scope of connecting the present of a certain location or landmark with its history through a timescape panorama. This may be achieved by exploring a linear timeline of photos for certain areas and landmarks that have both historic and modern photos. Matching modern to historical images requires a special effort ...

Feature extraction from aerial images and structural stereo matching

In this paper, a method of generating structural descriptions of stereo image pairs and their matching to recover 3-D form of objects in space, is discussed. The method consists of the following steps: rstly, straight line segments are extracted in both images and the relations among them are investigated. The relational subgraphs are constructed then, and the correspondence graph is created. U...

Bayesian Fusion for Multi-Modal Aerial Images

This paper presents a fusion method to combine aerial images from a low flying Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) with images of other spectral bands from sources such as satellites or commercial hyperspectral imagers. The proposed method propagates information from high-resolution images into other low-resolution modalities while allowing the images to have different spectral channels. This means t...

Feature-based Georegistration of Aerial Images

Efficient and Globally Optimal Multi View Dense Matching for Aerial Images

A variety of applications exist for aerial 3D reconstruction, ranging from the production of digital surface models (DSMs) and digital terrain models (DTMs) to the creation of true orthophoto and full 3D models of urban scenes that can be visualized through the web. In this paper we present an automated end-to-end workflow to create digital surface models from large scale and highly overlapping...
