A Novel User Interface for Photogrammetric Reconstruction

Reconstruction from images has become a popular and inexpensive method of building 3D scenes. For this method to work, one has to determine the position and orientation of the camera at which the images where taken. Although the camera orientation can be done fully automatically, the results are sometimes inaccurate and incomplete. These problems can be solved by manual interactions. We present a new graphical user interface for identifying possible orientation errors and for improving the orientation results. Several views and editors show different aspects of the oriented camera network and support the user in creating exact camera orientations.
