Fast 3D City Modeling with Unmanned Airship System in Henan Province

Abstract:

With the need of fast 3D city modeling, a new UAVS (unmanned aerial vehicle system) for low altitude aerial photogrammetry is introduced, including the platform airship, sensor system four-combined wide-angle camera and 3D modelling method. Based on the test in Henan province of China with this system, it is demonstrated that this low-altitude aerial photogrammetric system can get high resolution images with multiple views. With the vector models of the buildings and texture mapping technology, it is easy to carry out 3D city modelling. This work provides a possible for fast 3D city modelling.
