To date, terrestrial laser scanning offers 3D input data which are suitable for surface generation but are lacking in photo-realistic appearance. Texture for scanned surfaces can be provided by orthophotos generated from photographs that are acquired from almost the same viewpoint as the incident laser beam. However, the creation of an orthophoto using typical photogrammetric procedures requires the representation of the scanned surface with a triangulated mesh which cannot be created automatically in all cases. In this paper, a new method for automatic orthophoto generation from unorganized point clouds is presented. In the proposed methodology, the acquisition of accurate height information is directly derived from the point cloud without the prior requirement of a triangulated mesh. Analysis of experimental data with large height variations demonstrates the success of the algorithm which produces an orthophoto in near real-time. Issues on the performance of the method are also discussed.
