3D modeling examples of drone aerial photography equipped with multi-spectral and thermal cameras

Abstract

Three-dimensional measurement using aerial photographs by UAV has become widespread by applying SfM/MVS software. In recent years, multi-spectral cameras including near-infrared band and thermal infrared cameras have become smaller and lighter, and can be mounted on small UAVs for aerial photography. In this paper, we will introduce an example of three-dimensional measurement from aerial images taken by a UAV equipped with a multispectral camera and a thermal infrared camera.
