WG V/5 - Background

 

  • The WG will address Beijing Congress Resolution V.2 “Image engineering”.
  • There are strong, natural links with other WGs in Commission V
  • Fundamental to optical 3D measurement is the technology of the imaging sensors used in the measurement process. Image sensor technology has been developing rapidly for many years with different geometries, radiometric characteristics and potential for photogrammetric processes. This working group will investigate the potential of a wide range of sensors that are available, from design, to calibration and application
  • It is often not only an individual sensor that is important in a measurement process but multiple sensors that are used to create a measurement system. The integration and application of these systems is of therefore of interest to this working group.


WG V/5 - Terms of references

 

  • Design, characterization, calibration and evaluation of imaging sensors for close range photogrammery and terrestrial application.
  • Evaluation of image sensors (CCD, CMOS, IR-Bolometer), thermal systems and time-of-flight based range image sensors.
  • Evaluation of non-standard imaging principles (panoramic cameras, fisheye systems, catadioptric sensors and other omni-directional vision techniques).
  • Integrated sensors / sensor fusion (synchronization and metric aspects, alignment of different sensors)
  • Geometric and radiometric properties of image data, quality standards, and factors (environmental and others) affecting data quality.
  • Multiple camera / multiple sensing systems and solutions for outdoor applications (surveillance and traffic object recognition)
