Feature-based matching is commonly employed for object surface reconstruction in topographic and stereo close-range photogrammetry, but rarely in conjunction with convergent photogrammetric networks. This paper describes a new feature-based matching approach to automated 3D object reconstruction from highly convergent, multi-image networks. Geometric diversity and redundancy in the network desi...

Classical methodologies used in data collection for architectural documentation are studied (surveying topographic, photogrammetry, manual methods, etc). Different aspects are analysed in order to select the most suitable approach, always taking into account the specific determining factors. The suggested technique is in line with the so-called close range photogrammetry by simple methods. Its ...

Object reconstruction is one of the main problems in cultural heritage preservation. This problem is due to lack of data in documentation. Thus in this research we presented a method of 3D reconstruction using closerange photogrammetry. We collected 1319 photos from five temples in Yogyakarta. Using A-KAZE algorithm, keypoints of each image were obtained. Then we employed LIOP to create feature...

In this article, we present results that demonstrate the utility of close range photogrammetry in the measurement of decks in recreational craft as an alternate measurement system to the one based on direct acquisition of coordinates. The areas of deck covered with teakwood for aesthetic or security reasons were measured. Both methods were compared in terms of precision of measurements, time co...

This paper presents a procedure for assessing the quality of a digital elevation model (DEM) which has been applied to the output of a normalized cross correlation based stereomatching algorithm. Using semimetric photography of natural gravel river bed surfaces acquired in the field, digital photogrammetry was used to extract DEMs automatically for use in characterizing surface roughness proper...

Close-range photogrammetry is increasingly being employed for 3D measurement and modelling across a host of application areas. Consumer-grade digital cameras are becoming ubiquitous, and ‘professional’ digital cameras are becoming less expensive. Thus, access to suitable imaging technology for 3D measurement and subsequent model building and visualisation is now open to all. Access to suitable ...

This paper describes how we could combine the two most available systems for the purpose of surveying and documenting the architectural heritage, historical buildings and monuments. The two systems are digital photogrammetry (applied in a close-range context) and CAD. The product of this integration is a 3-D GIS application. In this application, close-range photogrammetry is used for the acquis...

Deformation monitoring, and in general structural health monitoring, of civil infrastructure systems is important in terms of both safety and serviceability. Traditionally, large structures have been monitored using surveying techniques, while fine-scale monitoring of structural components has been done with geotechnical instrumentation. This paper reviews the advantages and disadvantages of us...

SUMMARY Automated object surface reconstruction via feature-based matching is commonly employed in topographic and stereo close-range photogrammetry. However, it has rarely been utilised in conjunction with the convergent photogrammetric network geometry that is typically adopted for engineering surveys. This paper describes a new approach to automated 3D object reconstruction from highly conve...
