| Abstract: |
The book covers the theory and the presentation of applications of Multi-Image Photogrammetry. Initially, the basic mathematical model used in Photogrammetry and the geometric image-to-space transformations are developed. The concepts of parallax, epipolar geometry, the fundamental and essential matrices are introduced. The next chapter analyzes image matching, the automatic restoration of correspondences between points, gray levels, features, relations, or other entities in overlapping images. Three general categories of digital matching are analyzed (surface-based, feature-based, relational matching). The main operators for detecting interest points and the descriptors are presented, the SIFT and SURF algorithms and their variants, along with the main methods for eliminating invalid correspondences (RANSAC algorithm). The third chapter examines the Structure-from-Motion (SfM) method for determining the poses (positions and orientations) of a set of overlapping images and reconstructing the 3D geometry of the scene as a sparse point cloud. The procedures are presented, and the three main categories of SfM methods (incremental, global, hierarchical) are analyzed. The fourth chapter deals with the 3D reconstruction of a scene depicted in a set of overlapping images with known orientations, using photogrammetric computer vision techniques. Different geometry representation techniques are analyzed: depth maps, dense point cloud, and three-dimensional model. Methods for creating depth maps through dense image matching are presented (local, global, semi-global method). Also, the methods for producing dense point clouds, and creation of 3D polygonal models and texture mapping from the images are presented. The final chapter presents applications of photogrammetric computer vision techniques for the 3D reconstruction of objects and spaces. The steps of multi-image solutions are described, from data collection to the production of the final photorealistic model, along with principles for image acquisition planning and available acquisition platforms. Representative applications in various fields are provided.
