Abstract:
A system and method for aligning projection of an optical indicia on a surface of a large object is disclosed. A reference is disposed in proximity to the object. The reference includes a plurality of markers spaced at intermittent locations. A projection system projects optical indicia onto the surface of the object. A detection system detects the markers disposed upon the reference and signals an image of the markers to a processor for the processor to register a location of the projection system relative to the reference. The reference is aligned with a feature disposed upon the object enabling registration of the markers to the object. A location of the projection system relative to the object is established enabling the projection system to project the optical indicia onto the object to a predetermined location.

A depth measuring method and system applicable to a first binocular camera having a zoom lens is provided. The method includes: obtaining a current depth of a target object (S101); determining a focus with which the current depth is measured as a current focus (S102); determining, according to the preset correspondence between depth ranges and focuses, a current reference focus corresponding to a current reference depth range; wherein, the current reference depth range is a depth range in which the current depth falls (S103); determining whether the current focus is the same as the current reference focus; (S104); if the current focus is the same as the current reference focus, determining the current depth as the target depth of the target object (S105); or if the current focus is not the same as the current reference focus, adjusting the current focus to the current reference focus, measuring a current depth of the target object with the adjusted current focus (S106), and proceeding to the operation (S103) of determining, according to preset correspondence between depth ranges and focuses, a current reference focus corresponding to a current reference depth range. An object in various depth ranges is measured with a varying focus. The accuracy of the depth measurement of the target object is thus improved.

The invention relates to a stereoscopic viewer for aerial photographs. In this viewer, optical means permit simultaneous examination, through two eyepieces, of corresponding points in two successive panoramic photographs in the film to be examined. The optical means comprise, for each optical path, on the one hand, a set of plane-mirrors and, on the other hand, a rotating system adapted to rotate the images about the corresponding viewing axis, the unit thus assuring an even number of reflections; the adjusting means comprise elements permitting at least one of the rotating systems to pivot about a fixed axis and/or the displacement of at least one of the plane-mirrors.

The invention relates to computer-implemented method for the 3D reconstruction of a ground surface area by stereophotogrammetry, comprising the steps of: determining corrected Rational Polynomial Camera, RPC, models by performing bundle adjustment (BA) of original RPC models each provided with an image of a set of images of the ground surface area acquired by a remote imaging sensor and each associated to a corresponding original projection function ({Pm}) from a 3D object space to a 2D image space, wherein determining the corrected RPC models comprises determining corrected projection functions ({Pmcor}) from the 3D object space to the 2D image space; and determining (PC) a 3D point cloud representative (3DPC) of the ground surface area by triangulation, based on the corrected RPC models, of stereo correspondences within images of the set of images. In accordance with the invention, determining the corrected projection functions comprises determining, for each of the original projection function, a 3D corrective rotation around a remote imaging sensor center to be applied in the 3D space before performing the original projection function.

Abstract:
A photography unit photographs a target, a control unit acquires distance data between a photography position and a target to be photographed of the photography unit, an azimuth angle and an elevation/depression angle of a photography direction of the photography unit together with the image information by an angle distance measurement unit synchronously or asynchronously to the shutter operation of the photography unit. The angle distance measurement unit has a configuration without using an axis fixed onto a mobile object. Coordinate information of the photography position of the photography unit is acquired from the coordinate measurement unit synchronously to asynchronously to the shutter operation. The control unit calculates coordinate information of a photographing target, based on the data of the acquired distance data, the azimuth, elevation and depression angles, and the coordinate information.

The present invention provides a method for implementing high-precision orientation and evaluating orientation precision of a large-scale dynamic photogrammetry system, including steps: a) selecting a scale bar, arranging code points at two ends of the scale bar, and performing length measurement on the scale bar; b) evenly dividing a measurement space into multiple regions, sequentially placing the scale bar in each region, and photographing the scale bar by using left and right cameras; d) limiting self-calibration bundle adjustment by using multiple length constraints, adjustment parameters including principal point, principal distance, radial distortion, eccentric distortion, in-plane distortion, exterior orientation parameter and spatial point coordinate; and e) performing traceable evaluation of orientation precision of the photogrammetry system. The present invention can effectively reduce the relative error in length measurement.
