Smartphones recently expanded the potential for low-cost close-range photogrammetry 3D modeling. They enable simultaneous collection of large amounts data a variety requirements. It is possible to calculate image orientation elements and triangular coordinates in phases as Relative Absolute orientation. This study demonstrates photogrammetric reconstruction approach that performs on tablets sma...

Methods of digital photogrammetry depict a suitable tool for the automatic measurement of twoand three-dimensional displacements fields, deformations and surface defects such as cracks of test objects and structures during short and long time load tests. The paper gives an overview on recent research and development activities in the field of civil engineering material testing, conducted by the...

This paper describes some approaches towards an automation in architectural photogrammetry using digital image processing. We present techniques for semi-automatic 3D measurement and the application of digital image analysis to support the extraction of facade primitives. The proposed semi-automatic 3D measurement is used for the determination of tie points for the orientation and the interacti...

This paper describes an automatic approach in archaeological photogrammetry for the documentation and recovery of rupestrian paintings. Visible and near-infrared images were taken from an opened-cave before and after moistening the stone wall. Digital image processing techniques, specially multispectral and multiband classifications, were used to recognise and extract nondestructively the primi...

The need for surveying and recording the cultural property is increasing every day and is demanding proper answers from experts and scientists. The answer to such a problem must be based in the use of photogrammetry and other new technologies whose use must be widely extended. Experts in such technics are not enough in number for solving the problem. This means that they can’t take on their sho...

Due to more than one hundred of traditional film aerial cameras and too expensive digital ones in China, new type aerial camera with large format becomes the focus of researchers on remote sensing and Photogrammetry in both film and digital aerial camera. The key innovation for this program is twice-imaging proposal. In this paper, a geometric and automatic mosaic method is mainly developed for...

This paper reports on research that aims to develop a technique for rapidly monitoring coastal erosion over wide areas, by deriving synergy from three integrated measurement technologies. These technologies are the global positioning system (GPS), automated digital photogrammetry using imagery acquired with a small format digital camera, and synthetic aperture radar interferometry (InSAR). The ...

The laser scanning survey is one of the most updated and growing technique to acquire digital data for the architectural archives, including the cultural heritage applications and the archeological sites documentation. In the last years, many approaches have been proposed integrating digital photogrammetry and image processing algorithms. The laser scanner, sometimes, has been used only to prod...

The use of consumer grade digital cameras for spatial measurement has rapidly increased over the past decade and is accepted in many industrial applications but also in diverse fields ranging from medical science to architectural work. Their uncertain internal geometry can be partially resolved by calibration. Research recent conducted at Loughborough University indicated the potential of consu...
