Fundamental Study on the Development of the Inertial Photogrammetry system

Abstract

Attention is being given to the development of photogrammetry to get information on the exterior orientation parameters, that is to say the position and attitude, of a camera without using any control points. The exterior orientation of a camera could be determined by using GPS and an optical gyro. Such equipment, however, is not widely diffused due to the price aspect.
This paper is the fundamental study to get information on the position and attitude of a camera using a vibration gyroscope and accelerometer. This paper deals with various experimental results regarding the performance and experiments of this system using a vibration gyroscope and accelerometer.
After the experiment, we could obtain a basis sample by the vibration gyroscope and accerelometer used. For the application to the close range photogrammetry, this system could give the camera's position and attitude. As a result, no control point photogammetry could be made, but efficiency was remarkable.
