Development of Camera-Motion Insensitive Dynamic Digital Photogrammetry Using Digital Image Correlation

Toyon will develop and deliver a software prototype implementing algorithms for 3D/4D reconstruction using high-speed-camera and navigation data collected by two UAVs. We will test the software in conditions including both small and larger scenes with collection of ground truth data for moving scenes. We will perform multiple airborne data collections with two UAVs carrying high-speed cameras and navigation sensors performing time-synchronized data collection. We will evaluate the accuracy of the software for 3D surface displacement measurement, and refine and optimize the algorithms and software based on test results. We will deliver the software prototype to the government and support government engineers in using the prototype. Our detailed Phase II final report will communicate the capabilities and limitations of the prototype, the results of performance evaluation, and discussion of expected performance of the software in a variety of conditions after deployment.
