Developments in UAV-Photogrammetry

Nowadays, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are used in many disciplines to take images of the surrounding. This might be large areas, captured in vertical or oblique imagery, or single objects like buildings, photographed from arbitrary perspectives. In conjunction with state-of-the-art software overlapping images can be turned into dense matching-based point clouds, surface models or ortho-rectified images, just to name a few. In this overview paper image acquisition by UAV is compared to conventional platforms, and the developments within photogrammetry and computer vision which were enabler of the technology we use today are sketched. Some examples show different applications of UAV-photogrammetry, also in the context of landscape or vegetation mapping.
