The process for automatic DTM, DSM generation in close-range photogrammetric applications is always a need but under investigation for many years so far. It is well known that close range conditions are wide big different from the aerial ones, basically due to the three reasons: (a) the perspective in images appears to be larger; (b) the existence of repeated patterns at every turn and (c) the ...

In order to perform precise identification and location of artificial coded targets in natural scenes, a novel design of circle-based coded target and the corresponding coarse-fine extraction algorithm are presented. The designed target separates the target box and coding box totally and owns an advantage of rotation invariance. Based on the original target, templates are prepared by three geom...

The ongoing development of advanced techniques in photogrammetry, computer vision (CV), robotics and laser scanning to efficiently acquire three dimensional geometric data offer new possibilities for many applications. The output of these techniques in the digital form is often a sparse or dense point cloud describing the 3D shape of an object. Viewing these point clouds in a computerized digit...

Dolphins are agile animals and are very difficult to measure at sea. However, for the conservation of threatened or endangered species, measurement may be vital because it allows a demographic analysis of the population. Hector’s dolphin (Cephalorhynchus hectori) is a rare species living only in coastal waters around New Zealand where it is studied from small boats. This paper describes a stere...

Automated close-range photogrammetric measurement has traditionally been associated with expensive specialist cameras and usually requires highly controlled image illumination conditions. In the past few years, however, there has been a significant amount of research into the development of automated routines and algorithms that support the employment of consumer-grade colour digital cameras fo...

Virtual 3D modeling is a very important and hot topic for researchers of Geomatics. Many scientists are working in this direction. All over the world, so many educational institutes are available with its own campus. Campus is the land on which Institute; College or University buildings are situated. In the modern digital era, the demand of 3D Campus is increasing. Virtual 3D model of campus gi...

This paper presents an efficient and low-cost approach for energy analysis of road accidents using images obtained using consumer-grade digital cameras and smartphones. The developed method could be used by security forces in order to improve the qualitative and quantitative analysis of traffic accidents. This role of the security forces is crucial to settle arguments; consequently, the remote ...

It is important to know cutting and filling volumes in many survey, engineering and mining works. Volume calculation, generally, are completed with classic surveying methods. The trapezoidal method (rectangular or triangular prisms), classical cross sectioning (trapezoidal, Simpson, and average formula), and improved methods (Simpson-based, cubic spline, and cubic Hermite formula) have been pre...

The production of agricultural cultivates under intensive systems requires of big quantities of pesticides for fitosanitary control. Pesticides application is a major component of tomato production costs under greenhouse in Almería, Spain, and the excess in their applications have a great negative impact on the environment. A pesticide application is ideal if the spraying coverage is presented ...

Recording of archaeological sites has long been studied by many scientific organizations. However, the analyses and evolution of human beings through rock art is one of the most challenging tasks in prehistoric archaeology, not only because of the unpredicted contribution to the understanding of the past but also because of the difficulties for appropriate recording. Tracing, rubbing and photog...
