University of MissouriOffice of Technology Management & Industry RelationsNon-Confidential Abstract of InventionUM Disclosure No. 15UMC050“Structure from Motion” and “Bundle Adjustment” Adapted to Aerial Imagery andPhotogrammetryA fast and efficient Bundle Adjustment (BA) pipeline is developed for refinement of camera parameters for aerial imagery such as wide area motion imagery (WAMI). In aerial imagery, images are sequentially taken and rotation matrix and translation vector associated with each image are recorded with the picture. Extracted features from the pictures are traditionally only matched between two successive frames. This technology uses an adaptive, robust function which adapts to particular features. The usage of this technology will lead to better, more representative picture mapping.
