چکیده

The United States Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with The Ohio State University (OSU) and Calgary University (CU) have developed procedures and software for the efficient calibration of metric quality aerial cameras; both filmand CCD-based sensors. With the advent of the Global Positioning System (GPS), and its efficient use to position the exposure station of the aerial camera, it became necessary to accurately establish camera interior orientation under operational circumstances (in situ calibration) to assure agreement of the photogrammetric procedure results with positional data provided by GPS. Disagreement between photogrammetric resection methods, based on laboratory calibration, and GPS results were consistently as large as one part in 1000 of the flight height. This paper describes the development of the airborne method of camera calibration, software development, and some results of accuracy improvements when using the in situ method of camera calibration.

Self Calibration of Small and Medium Format Digital Cameras

The knowledge of a camera’s interior orientation parameters are a prerequisite for the camera to be used in any precision photogrammetric project. Historically, the interior orientation parameters have been determined by analyzing the measured ground 3D coordinates of photo-identifiable targets, and their 2D (image) coordinates from multiple images of these targets. Camera self calibration, on ...

In Situ Digital Airborne Camera Validation and Certification – the Future Standard ?

Digital airborne photogrammetric imaging systems are operational and already have substituted the analogue mapping cameras in many countries and applications. The high potential of digital airborne imaging was already evaluated through several empirical tests. Compared to the former analogue mapping cameras, which all provide standard analogue images using one single optic only, the new digital...

Experiment on Precision of Camera Calibration of Non-metric Digital Cameras

Although many camera calibration methods for a non-metric digital camera have been proposed, there are few reports on the precision of calibration results. Therefore, we conducted a field experiment in order to examine the precision of calibration results of a non-metric digital camera. We adopted a calibration method using a set of calibration points distributed on the 2-D plane with no ground...
