Abstract: Two areas that demand major research commitments include real‐time surveying and mapping systems and geographic data bases. Future developments in these areas are vital to the computer integration of engineering processes, ...

Abstract: A method of geometric calibration of charge-coupled device (CCD) vision systems for metric measurement has been developed. The method does not require a special calibration facility or accurately surveyed three-dimensional ...

Abstract: A knowledge-based system has been developed to help inexperienced users make measurements from stereo video images. The purpose of the system is to automate much of the routine functions and decision making in photogrammetric ...

Abstract: GPS‐guided stereo, solid‐state camera systems can perform real‐time surveying and mapping functions that are vital to the automation of many engineering processes. While GPS provides point positioning of the cameras in ...
