Digital Aerial Triangulation in Production - Experiences with Block Switzerland

چکیده

Digital aerial triangulation is increasingly being carried out in photogrammetric production environments as greater efficiency is being attained through increased automation. In this paper, a customised and modified approach to digital aerial triangulation using the Helava Automated Triangulation System (HATS) is introduced. HATS is used as the basic triangulation measurement tool for the aerial triangulation of the swissphoto block of more than 6000 images covering the entire area of Switzerland with photo scales varying from 1 : 22 000 to 1 : 54 000. For the whole block Switzerland, aerial triangulation was performed from October 1995 until July 1998 in 43 subblocks using between 82 to 333 images per block. The results of seven selected triangulation sub-blocks are presented. Furthermore, the limitations of digital triangulation in difficult terrain as given in Switzerland, especially in alpine regions, are summarised and improvements for the software are suggested.

Analyzing Dmc Performance in a Production Environment

Since December 2004 the Institut Cartogràfic de Catalunya (ICC) has taken more than 135 000 digital aerial images with two Digital Mapping Cameras (DMC) from ZEISS/INTERGRAPH (Z/I). After three years of experience and with the new, fully digital, production lines well established, this paper analyses the performance of the digital camera in a true production environment, specially compared to t...

Positional Quality Assessment of Orthophotos Obtained from Sensors Onboard Multi-Rotor UAV Platforms

In this study we explored the positional quality of orthophotos obtained by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). A multi-rotor UAV was used to obtain images using a vertically mounted digital camera. The flight was processed taking into account the photogrammetry workflow: perform the aerial triangulation, generate a digital surface model, orthorectify individual images and finally obtain a mosaic...

Aerial Triangulation of Digital Aerial Imagery Using Hybrid Features

Exterior Orientation Parameters (EOPs) of imaging sensors are demanded in different mapping tasks such as orthophoto and DEM generation, 3D extraction and object reconstruction. Bundle adjustment is one of the useful methods to determine the EOPs of all the images in a block with relatively low number of control points. As finding the corresponding points in is difficult especially in automatic...
