MODERN TECHNOLOGY 3D visualizations of Earth’s surface

Allow for mapping remote, inaccessible locations Obtain orientation data Analyze complex structures Helps optimize field time

Purpose: Produce 3D visualizations from photogrammetry

(SfM) that are comparable to LiDAR How can we increase the spatial accuracy of

photogrammetrically-derived models?

Presenter
Presentation Notes
Photogrammetry is cheaper and easier to transport. All you need is a camera which most of us take to the field anyway. SfM = structure from motion

SPATIAL ACCURACY FOR PHOTOGRAMMETRY

Vertical imagery—moderately well tested Little data on oblique imagery only Examined several sites—compare LiDAR to

Photogrammetry

Presenter
Presentation Notes
We can see that photogrammetry is visually appealing and detailed compared to LiDAR, but how accurate is it?

Presentation Notes
We expected the photogram model of the Noonday structure (green) to match up well with LiDAR (True color) since we obtained GC from the Lidar model, but it is still a bit offset. However, in this situation we are close enough to the accurate Lidar model that we can use the registration feature in Maptek I-site and move the photogrammetry model to where it needs to be.

OBSERVATIONS

Clair Camp Structure has more error, why? Baseline v. distance to feature

HYPOTHESIS: BASELINE-DISTANCE RATIO Baseline v.

distance to feature (star) should be 2:1

The larger the baseline the greater the distance that can be calculated

Baseline

Presenter
Presentation Notes
Based on information from literature the field of view for my camera should be 40 degrees. Baseline to distance 2:1 Knotzl and reiterer 2010

Baseline v. distance to feature – stereo coverage

Baseline to Distance Ratio = 1.125

Presenter
Presentation Notes
Follow the previous schematic, our Noonday array has a baseline to distance ration of >1, could be better, but it’s OK.

Baseline to Distance Ratio = 0.35

Presenter
Presentation Notes
The baseline to distance ratio here is very low, too low. The distance to the feature we are trying to measure is much larger than the baseline, which has led to the generation of an inaccurate 3D surface model.

CONCLUSION

Baseline-Distance Ratio Important: In a real field study can’t always

control this Use of ground control Vertical angle issue

SfM – oblique photogrammetry Requires further evaluation

Presenter
Presentation Notes
Baseline-distance ratio is the main cause for the large offsets we see in the clair camp structure and because the baseline-distance ratio for the Noonday is much better, it produced a more accruate model. These area we tried to model are very large, and to make 3D models of large scenes we need a large baseline, but sometimes that cannot be controlled in the field due to terrain. The use of ground control also improved the spatial accuracy of models. Possible vertical angle issue in processing photos (program can’t find where vertical is in a scene) this need further evaluation.
