Historic aerial photos are typically very popular, sought-after collections in library archives. Their ability to be used in GIS is limited, however, by the laborious and painstaking georeferencing process. A method is presented for automating the georeferencing of historic aerial photography. In this method, the Harris Corner Detector is used to detect corner points in already-georeferenced an...

A low cost UAV for aerial photography is constructed and tested. The UAV transfers images as they are captured via 802.11g to a ground station. Photo-mosaics are immediately assembled using SIFT keypoints for automatic image registration.
