This paper demonstrates the performance of industrial precise measurement using the digital close-range photograrmmetric system based on a off-the-shelf CCTV-type CCD camera. The system was constructed with a CCD camera and a PC with a frame grabber, coupled with digital image mensuration and self-calibrating bundle adjustment techniques. An artificial fish reef with cubic shape was taken as an object for the application test of the system and the digital images were acquired on multi-station convergent network around the object. The geometric calibration of the CCD camera and the phototriangulation of the entire surface of the object was carried out simultaneously by means of self-calibrating bundle adjustment technique. Also the system comprising a high resolution still-video camera Kodak DCS, which high accuracy potential has been already established, were employed in similar network condition. Then the results from two different camera systems were compared in the accuracies of phototriangulation.

The objective of this paper is to investigate the optimal Robust estimation and scale estimator that could be used to treat the gross errors in a self calibrating bundle adjustment. In order to test the variability in performance of the different weighting schemes in accurately detecting gross error, five robust estimation methods and three types of scale estimators were used. And also, two difference control point patterns(high density control, sparse density control) and three types of gross errors(4$\sigma o$, 20$\sigma o$, 50$\sigma o$) were used for comparison analysis. As a result, Anscombe's robust estimation produced the best results in accuracy among the robust estimation methods considered. when considering the scale estimator about control point patterns, It can be seen that Type II scale estimator provided the best accuracy in high density control pattern. On the other hand, In the case of sparse density control pattern, Type III scale estimator showed the best results in accuracy. Therefore it is expected to apply to robustified bundle adjustment using the optimal scale estimator which can be used for eliminating the gross error in precise structure analysis.

To evaluate the accuracy of UAV photogrammetry for Hyangho coast, eastern coast of Korea, we conducted a field experiment wherein UAV photogrammetry test was repeated three times. Since the Haygho coast is located within a military reservation zone, it was necessary to obtain permission to gain access to the beach and to have sensitive aerial photographs showing military facilities inspected and cropped. The standard deviation of the UAV shooting position between the three tests was less than 1 m, but repeatability of footprint on the ground was low due to wind-driven variability of the UAV pose. Self-calibrating bundle adjustment(SCBA) of implementing non-metric camera calibration was failed in one test. In two tests, the vertical error was twice as large as the pixel size except for those areas that were subject to security inspection and cropping. Given the problems that can arise with regard to the repeatability of the shooting area as well as the possibility of failure with regard to SCBA, we strongly recommend that UAV photogrammetry in coastal areas needs to be repeated at least twice.
