基于运动恢复结构(structure from motion,SFM)算法的地面影像定向通常没有考虑影像的位置姿态信息,影像定向结果在自由网坐标系,因此无法获取绝对坐标和真实尺度;利用地面摄影实时动态(real-time kinematic,RTK)技术可以获取地面影像...基于运动恢复结构(structure from motion,SFM)算法的地面影像定向通常没有考虑影像的位置姿态信息,影像定向结果在自由网坐标系,因此无法获取绝对坐标和真实尺度;利用地面摄影实时动态(real-time kinematic,RTK)技术可以获取地面影像的位置姿态信息,但是RTK和摄影测量的角度系统定义不同,RTK相位中心与影像投影中心存在偏差。针对这些问题,推导了利用RTK获取的GPS和角元素heading pitch roll(HPR)计算影像外方位元素的公式,提出地面摄影RTK辅助SFM算法的地面影像定向方法,在少量或者无需像控点条件下将SFM算法自由网的定向结果转换到绝对坐标系下,获得场景的真实坐标和尺度。实验结果表明,该转换公式正确,地面摄影RTK辅助SFM算法的影像定向方法可行。展开更多
