On the adjustment, calibration and orientation of drone photogrammetry and laser-scanning

Centimetre level precision mapping is essential for many applications such as land-use, infrastructure inspection, cultural heritage preservation, and construction site monitoring. However, the acquisition and its preparation (in particular the setting of ...

Camera Calibration Models and Methods for Corridor Mapping with UAVs

Jan Skaloud, Davide Antonio Cucci, Emmanuel Pierre Quentin Clédat

Camera calibration refers to the modeling of the relationship between the coordinates of object points and their projections on the image plane. This is usually done by parametric models that describe the physical properties of the lens systems and camera ...

Fusion of Photo with Airborne Laser Scanning

Jan Skaloud, Emmanuel Pierre Quentin Clédat

Photogrammetry and Laser-Scanning are usually considered as complementary. Integration of these two observation methods has the potential to blend their individual advantages. The resulting benefit is likely to be higher in drone airborne mapping, which pa ...

Mapping quality prediction for RTK/PPK-equipped micro-drones operating in complex natural environment

Jan Skaloud, Davide Antonio Cucci, Laurent Valentin Jospin, Emmanuel Pierre Quentin Clédat

Drone mapping with GNSS-assisted photogrammetry is a highly efficient method for surveying small -or medium- sized areas. However, the mapping quality is not intuitively predictable, particularly in complex environments (with steep and cluttered terrain), ...

Mapping GNSS Restricted Environment with a Drone Tandem and Indirect Position Control

Davide Antonio Cucci, Emmanuel Pierre Quentin Clédat

The problem of autonomously mapping highly cluttered environments, such as urban and natural canyons, is intractable with the current UAV technology. The reason lies in the absence or unreliability of GNSS signals due to partial sky occlusion or multi-path ...
