Photogrammetric 3d Reconstruction of Lightning Discharges
نویسندگان
چکیده
A computer vision setup is presented for the automated detection and multi-view 3D reconstruction of lightning discharges. The system is designed to operate autonomously in a continuous mode and provide accurate position information of the lightning discharge path and impact point relative to its surrounding area. Extensive tests in a medium scale laboratory environment show that a relative measurement accuracy of 1:200 is reachable with VGA resolution cameras.

3D Reconstruction and Geographical Referencing of Lightning Discharges
Photogrammetric survey of lightning discharges is a very challenging task as lightning discharges are very transient, unpredictable, and random structures. In order to acquire images of lightning discharges outdoors, a stereo image acquisition system has been designed and implemented. Two cameras observe a limited area and autonomously detect occurrences of lightning discharges within their fie...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Quality of Photogrammetric Techniques for Site Reconstruction
The article presents techniques for acquisition and processing of image data for photogrammetric 3D reconstruction. The analysis is focused on the selection of real outdoor scenes of simulated accidents for criminal investigations. Surface models are obtained on the basis of photographs using photogrammetric reconstruction methods. Conditions for the acquisition and reconstruction parameters ar...
متن کاملLetter to the Editor Intense oceanic lightning
The electrodynamic properties of intense oceanic lightning discharges are compared to intense continental lightning discharges. Particularly intense negative lightning discharges with absolute charge moments > 2 kC·km occur more often over the oceans than over the continents during April 1998. Intense continental lightning discharges, with negative and positive polarity, and intense positive oc...

متن کاملA Review of Positive and Bipolar Lightning Discharges
JUNE 2003 AMERICAN METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY | P ositive lightning discharges (flashes) are defined as those effectively transporting a positive charge from a cloud to the earth. It is thought that less than 10% of global cloud-to-ground lightning is positive (e.g., Uman 1987). Lightning discharges (flashes) that transfer to ground both positive and negative charges are termed bipolar lightning di...
