| Summary: | Oblique airborne photogrammetry is rapidly maturing and being offered by service providers as a good alternative or replacement of the
more traditional vertical imagery and for very different applications (Fig.1). EuroSDR, representing European National Mapping
Agencies (NMAs) and research organizations of most EU states, is following the development of oblique aerial cameras since 2013,
when an ongoing activity was created to continuously update its members on the developments in this technology. Nowadays most
European NMAs still rely on the traditional workflow based on vertical photography but changes are slowly taking place also at
production level. Some NMAs have already run some tests internally to understand the potential for their needs whereas other agencies
are discussing on the future role of this technology and how to possibly adapt their production pipelines. At the same time, some research
institutions and academia demonstrated the potentialities of oblique aerial datasets to generate textured 3D city models or large building
block models. The paper provides an overview of tests, best practices and considerations coming from the R&D community and from
three European NMAs concerning the use of oblique aerial imagery. |
