HighStitch: High Altitude Georeferenced Aerial Images Stitching for Rocking Telephoto Lens

A georeferenced orthophoto built from aerial images is the basic resource for various of remote sensing applications. As traditional low flight altitude aerial photographic survey is hard to handle large areas, higher altitude brings better survey efficiency, and a telephoto camera is required to ma...

description A georeferenced orthophoto built from aerial images is the basic resource for various of remote sensing applications. As traditional low flight altitude aerial photographic survey is hard to handle large areas, higher altitude brings better survey efficiency, and a telephoto camera is required to maintain the resolution. Since existed structure from motion (SfM) methods are not suitable to process the low field-of-view images with high altitude, this article presents a novel georeferenced orthophoto stitching solution for telephoto images, which contain both translation and rotation movements. A mission planning strategy is designed to guarantee the consistent quality, according to the flight plan and camera intrinsic parameters. The potential matching topology is obtained by projecting images to the prior ground plan,e and overlap scores are estimated for neighbors query, followed with a feature-based keypoint matching.
