A Study on 3D Mapping Using Multiple Small Drones Equipped with Monocular Camera

Abstract

In response to labor shortages due to an aging population and the vast and complex terrain of forests, this research focuses on generating 3D maps using multiple small drones equipped with monocular camera. By leveraging advanced image processing techniques, we try to achieve high-precision 3D mapping from images captured by multiple drones, efficiently covering extensive terrains. This approach is expected to contribute to forest management and rapid disaster assessment.
