Glacier roughness at sub-metre scales is an important control on the ice surface energy balance and has implications for scattering energy measured by remote-sensing instruments. Ice surface roughness is dynamic as a consequence of spatial and temporal variation in ablation. To date, studies relying on singular and/or spatially discrete two-dimensional profiles to describe ice surface roughness...

Surveying and representation of archaeological sites and objects represents today a very interesting contest where the potentialities of the new digital technologies of Geomatics can be fruitfully expressed. The tackled problems span from the data acquisition and integration processes to the automatic or semi-automatic data handling, or to new methods for data representation and exploration. On...

The accuracy of object reconstruction was tested with two medium format cameras made by ALPA of Switzerland. Both cameras have been equipped with a 33 megapixel Leaf Aptus 75 digital camera back and a 47 mm focal length Schneider Apo-Digitar lens. The first test was carried out with the lens in “normal” position. In the second test, the principal point of another Apo-Digitar lens type was decen...

Studies on crescentic fractures and crescentic gouges were carried out in the central part of the Alpine piedmont glaciation and the Quaternary Alpine mountain ice sheet. The test sites were situated in the pro-glacial area of the Hornkees south Berliner Hiitte (Oberer Zemmgrund, Zillertal, Tyrol, Austria). This is also the area of the former confluence with another glacier which flowed at abou...

Airborne laser scanning (ALS) allows for extensive coverage, but the accuracy of tree detection and form can be limited. Although terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) can improve on ALS accuracy, it is rather expensive and area coverage is limited. Multi-view stereopsis (MVS) techniques combining computer vision and photogrammetry may offer some of the coverage benefits of ALS and the improved accu...

Camera calibration has always been an essential component of photogrammetric measurement. Nowadays, with self-calibration being an integral and routinely applied operation within photogrammetric triangulation, especially in high-accuracy close-range measurement. Photogrammetric camera calibration is usually carried out together with the calculation of object coordinates such as principal distan...

Development of the technology in the area of the cameras, computers and algorithms for 3D the reconstruction of the objects from the images resulted in the increased popularity of the photogrammetry. Algorithms for the 3D model reconstruction are so advanced that almost anyone can make a 3D model of photographed object. The main goal of this paper is to examine the possibility of obtaining 3D d...

In this study, this researcher designed the routine of image analysis with object concept, so as to increase the efficiency of displacement interpretation of structure by digital image analysis. For the hierarchical connection performance of analysis routine, this researcher formed the constant attribute of objectification of photogrammetry process by constituting the classes such as target loc...

In this article we introduce a new method for forest management inventories especially suitable for highly-valued timber where the precise estimation of stem parameters (diameter, form, and tapper) plays the key role for market purposes. The unmanned aerial system (UAS)-based photogrammetry is combined with terrestrial photogrammetry executed by walking inside the stand and the individual tree ...
