Localization and 3 D Reconstruction of Urban Scenes Using GPS
نویسنده
چکیده
Using off-the-shelf Global Positioning System (GPS) units, we reconstruct buildings in 3D by exploiting the reduction in signal to noise ratio (SNR) that occurs when the buildings obstruct the line-of-sight between the moving units and the orbiting satellites. We measure the size and height of skyscrapers as well as automatically constructing a density map representing the location of multiple buildings in an urban landscape.

Aligning Across Large Gaps in Time
We present a method of temporally-invariant image registration for outdoor scenes, with invariance across time of day, across seasonal variations, and across decade-long periods, for lowand hightexture scenes. Our method can be useful for applications in remote sensing, GPS-denied UAV localization, 3D reconstruction, and many others. Our method leverages a recently proposed approach to image re...
متن کاملThe Zurich Urban Micro Aerial Vehicle
This paper presents a dataset recorded on-board a camera-equipped Micro Aerial Vehicle (MAV) flying within the urban streets of Zurich, Switzerland, at low altitudes (i.e., 5-15 meters above the ground). The 2 km dataset consists of time synchronized aerial high-resolution images, GPS and IMU sensor data, ground-level street view images, and ground truth data. The dataset is ideal to evaluate a...
متن کاملSegmentation of urban scenes from aerial stereo imagery
This paper presents a focusing strategy for the 3-D reconstruction of urban scenes from aerial stereo pairs. It consists in segmenting the scene into above-ground objects (buildings or vegetation), and it relies on 3-D and radiometric analyses. The classification is able to cope with extended above-ground, adjacent objects, slopes, and it is robust to image and scene variability.
متن کاملAutomated 3d Reconstruction System for Autonomous Mobile Manipulator and Vehicle-borne
To construct realistic 3D models of large environments that match the physical world as accurately as possible there is the need to combine several kinds of data sources, such as: ground and aerial laser range scans, tracking data, photos, GPS data, satellite images. In this paper we concentrate on the ground level data acquisition. We present two integrated solutions for automated 3D acquisiti...
متن کاملVisual teach and repeat for long-range rover autonomy
This paper describes a system built to enable long-range rover autonomy using a stereo camera as the only sensor. During a learning phase, the system builds a manifold map of overlapping submaps as it is piloted along a route. The map is then used for localization as the rover repeats the route autonomously. The use of local submaps allows the rover to faithfully repeat long routes without the ...
