Precision and accuracy estimation is an important index used to reflect the measurement performance and quality of a measurement system. To reveal the significance and connotations of the precision and accuracy estimation index of a close-range photogrammetry system, several common precision and accuracy estimation methods used in close-range photogrammetry are explained from a theoretical pers...

In this paper, an experiment system is developed to settle the problem about how to mapping a digital image onto 3D model from LIDAR data. Firstly, it chooses the corresponding points between point cloud and digital image, then, uses these corresponding points to calculate the exterior and interior orientation elements and systematic error corrections of image. For the purpose of improving the ...

Field characterization of gravel-bed surface structure is important for studies on flow resistance, sediment transport and in-stream habitats. The following study presents technical developments that make obtaining highresolution digital elevation models (DEMs) from gravel beds in the field more efficient and effective. Using close-range digital photogrammetry (CRDP), only two consumer-grade di...

Due to the progress in computers and sensors development the number of virtual reality application (VR) grows significantly. Different sensors and techniques such as laser range finders, still and video cameras, mechanical digitizers are used to obtain spatial object coordinates for producing 3D models. The two main requirements to the produced model are the accurate geometry reconstruction and...

Scanning of analogue images has become a key hardware technology specific to modern digital photogrammetry. Since specialised photogrammetric scanners have been introduced in the late 1980s, a gradual development and improvement of their performance regarding hardware, software and functionality, and productivity has been observed. Originally, geometric accuracy of scanners was the overriding s...

background : improvement of facial beauty is a major reason why patients with dentofacial problems opt for orthognathic surgery. people are eventually judged by their facial appearance by themselves, their friends & family and even surgeons. with the recent developments in technology, we now have a 3d structure that can build and analyze 3d images before & after surgery and review the extent of...
