| description | In this paper, a methodology for the calculation of rough exterior orientation (EO) parameters of multiple large-scale overlapping
oblique aerial images, in the case that GPS/INS information is not available (e.g., for old datasets), is presented. It consists of five
main steps; (a) the determination of the overlapping image pairs and the single image in which four ground control points have to be
measured; (b) the computation of the transformation parameters from every image to the coordinate reference system; (c) the rough
estimation of the camera interior orientation parameters; (d) the estimation of the true horizon line and the nadir point of each image;
(e) the calculation of the rough EO parameters of each image. A developed software suite implementing the proposed methodology
is tested using a set of UAV multi-perspective oblique aerial images. Several tests are performed for the assessment of the errors and
show that the estimated EO parameters can be used either as initial approximations for a bundle adjustment procedure or as rough
georeferencing information for several applications, like 3D modelling, even by non-photogrammetrists, because of the minimal user
intervention needed. Finally, comparisons with a commercial software are made, in terms of automation and correctness of the
computed EO parameters. |
