모바일 맹핑시스템에 장착되어 있는 카메라와 INS의 물리적 관계 (두 좌표축 간의 거리(lever-arm) 와 각도(boresight) 캘리브레이션은 카메라 영상의 지리적 정보를 생성하기 위해 필요로 한다. 이 목적을 위해 기존연구는 카메라 캘리브레이션을 통하여 이 물리적 관계를 추정하고 있다. 카메라 캘리브레이션은 3차원 좌표가 할당된 타겟을 이용하여 움직이는 카메라의 렌즈 왜곡과 내/외부 표정 계산하는 것이다. 이 추정에서, 저가의 INS의 초기상태인 자세, 각도는 사용자의 측량에 의해 결정이 된다. 만약 정교한 측량이 없을 경우, 카메라 영상의 지리적 정보는 잘못된 정보를 제공 할 것이다. 정교한 측량의 어려움을 피하기 위해, 본 논문은 카메라와 초기상태 정보가 없는 INS간의 물리적 관계를 위한 수학적 모델을 설계하였다. 시스템에 장착된 카메라와 INS의 초기 기준 좌표계의 관계는 lever-arm과 boresight을 이용한 좌표축 변환으로 정의 될 수 있으며, 이 시스템이 이동 후, 카메라 초기 기준 좌표계에서 INS의 위치는 두 개의 벡터 경로로 정의 될 수 있다. 이 두 벡터 경로는 카메라와 INS의 상대 외부표정의 관계를 이용하여 계산된 벡터들의 조합으로 정의된다. 본 논문은 여러 쌍의 경로로부터 lever-arm과 boresight을 추정하였다.

In general, it is necessary to establish the dedicated GPS base station at the central point of the survey area in GPS/INS aerotriangulation. Although this base station is needed to achieve the required survey accuracy, there are some difficulties in practical operation. To tackle these difficulties and to achieve the effective GPS/INS aerotriangulation, the GPS data of CORS was interpolated and used in stead of those of the usual ground base station. Through this study, it was found that the interpolated CORS data was accurate enough to substitute dedicated GPS base station in GPS/INS aerotriangulation.

In this paper, a camera modeling method that utilizes ephemeris data and imaging geometry is presented. The proposed method constructs a mathematical model only with parameters that are contained in auxiliary files and does not require any ground control points for model construction. Control points are only needed to eliminate geolocation error of the model that is originated from errors embedded in the parameters that are used in model construction. By using a few (one or two) control points, RMS error of around pixel size can be obtained and control points are not necessarily uniformly distributed in line direction of the scene. This advantage is crucial in large-scale projects and will enable to reduce project cost dramatically.

The camera is a key element in image-based three-dimensional positioning, and camera calibration, which properly determines the internal characteristics of such a camera, is a necessary process that must be preceded in order to determine the three-dimensional coordinates of the object. In this study, a new methodology was proposed to determine interior orientation parameters of a camera semi-automatically without being influenced by size and shape of checkerboard for camera calibration. The proposed method consists of exterior orientation parameters estimation using quaternion, recognition of calibration target, and interior orientation parameter determination through bundle block adjustment. After determining the interior orientation parameters using the chessboard calibration target, the three-dimensional position of the small 3D model was determined. In addition, the horizontal and vertical position errors were about ${\pm}0.006m$ and ${\pm}0.007m$, respectively, through the accuracy evaluation using the checkpoints.

UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) are widely used for maintenance and monitoring of facilities. It is necessary to acquire a high-resolution image for evaluating the appearance state of the facility in safety inspection. In addition, it is essential to acquire the video data in order to acquire data over a wide area rapidly. In general, since video data does not include position information, it is difficult to analyze the actual size of the inspection object quantitatively. In this study, we evaluated the utilization of 3D point cloud data of bridges using a matching between video frames and reference photos. The drones were used to acquire video and photographs. And exterior orientations of the video frames were generated through feature point matching with reference photos. Experimental results showed that the accuracy of the video frame data is similar to that of the reference photos. Furthermore, the point cloud data generated by using video frames represented the shape and size of bridges with usable accuracy. If the stability of the product is verified through the matching test of various conditions in the future, it is expected that the video-based facility modeling and inspection will be effectively conducted.

This study had been aimed to conduct the camera calibration on VLBI antenna in the Space Geodetic Observation Center of Sejong City with a low-cost digital camera, which embedded in a mobile phone to determine the three-dimension position coordinates of the VLBI antenna, based on stereo images. The initial values for the camera calibration have been obtained by utilizing the Direct Linear Transformation algorithm and the commercial digital photogrammetry system, PhotoModeler $Scanner^{(R)}$ ver. 6.0, respectively. The accuracy of camera calibration results was compared with that the camera calibration results, acquired by a bundle adjustment with nonlinear collinearity condition equation. Although two methods showed significant differences in the initial value, the final calibration demonstrated the consistent results whichever methods had been performed for obtaining the initial value. Furthermore, those three-dimensional coordinates of feature points of the VLBI antenna were respectively calculated using the camera calibration by the two methods to be compared with the reference coordinates obtained from a total station. In fact, both methods have resulted out a same standard deviation of $X=0.004{\pm}0.010m$, $Y=0.001{\pm}0.015m$, $Z=0.009{\pm}0.017m$, that of showing a high degree of accuracy in centimeters. From the result, we can conclude that a mobile phone camera opens up the way for a variety of image processing studies, such as 3D reconstruction from images captured.

This study is on the development of photogrammetric methode for measuring the size of object without control points. The model is composed of interior orientation parameters, which are consist of specifications of CCD camera and lens distortion parameters, and exterior orientation parameters, which are calculated through relative orientation and scale adjustment. We evaluated the accuracy of the model to find that it is possible to measure the size of object using the model.

In this paper, the direct linear transformation is described in which a inner and exterior orientation parameters are treated as unknown for non-iterative direct space resection, and the computer program was developed to obtain object space coordinates. Image coordinates measurements are conducted with analogue stereo-plotter and digitizer. To prove the appropriateness of the two image coordinate measurement devices and the DLT method, the standard errors of object space coordinates are compared with semi-analytical method.

The initiation and growth of short fatigue cracks in the simulated aircraft structure with a series of rivet holes was detected by acoustic emission (AE). The location and the size of short tracks were determined by AE source location techniques and the measurement with traveling microscope. AE events increased intermittently with the initiation and growth of short cracks to form a stepwise increment curve of cumulative AE events. For the precise determination of AE source locations, a region-of-interest (ROI) was set around the rivet holes based on the plastic zone size in fracture mechanics. Since the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) was very low at this early stage of fatigue cracks, the accuracy of source location was also enhanced by the wavelet transform do-noising. In practice, the majority of AE signals detected within the ROI appeared to be noise from various origins. The results showed that the effort of structural geometry and SNR should be closely taken into consideration for the accurate evaluation of fatigue damage in the structure.

To utilize omni-directional images acquired by a rotating line camera for indoor spatial information services, we should register precisely the images with respect to an indoor coordinate system. In this study, we thus develop a georeferencing method to estimate the exterior orientation parameters of an omni-directional image - the position and attitude of the camera at the acquisition time. First, we derive the collinearity equations for the omni-directional image by geometrically modeling the rotating line camera. We then estimate the exterior orientation parameters using the collinearity equations with indoor control points. The experimental results from the application to real data indicate that the exterior orientation parameters is estimated with the precision of 1.4 mm and $0.05^{\circ}$ for the position and attitude, respectively. The residuals are within 3 and 10 pixels in horizontal and vertical directions, respectively. Particularly, the residuals in the vertical direction retain systematic errors mainly due to the lens distortion, which should be eliminated through a camera calibration process. Using omni-directional images georeferenced precisely with the proposed method, we can generate high resolution indoor 3D models and sophisticated augmented reality services based on the models.
