In contrast, event cameras can trigger events with a very high dynamic range and low latency, which hardly suffer from saturation and naturally encode dense temporal information about motion. However, in low-light conditions existing event-based deblurring methods would become less robust since the events triggered in dark regions are often severely contaminated by noise, leading to inaccurate reconstruction of the corresponding intensity values. Besides, since they directly adopt the event-based double integral model to perform pixel-wise reconstruction, they can only handle low-resolution grayscale active pixel sensor images provided by the DAVIS camera, which cannot meet the requirement of daily photography. In this paper, to apply events to deblurring low-light images robustly, we propose a unified two-stage framework along with a motion-aware neural network tailored to it, reconstructing the sharp image under the guidance of high-fidelity motion clues extracted from events. Besides, we build an RGB-DAVIS hybrid camera system to demonstrate that our method has the ability to deblur high-resolution RGB images due to the natural advantages of our two-stage framework. Experimental results show our method achieves state-of-the-art performance on both synthetic and real-world images.

In the last years, coupled with the spread of semi-automated survey and processing approaches based on photogrammetry, orthophotos have become almost a standard for monitoring the underwater environment. If on land the definition of the reference coordinate system and projection plane for the orthophoto generation is trivial, underwater it may represent a challenge. In this paper, we address the issue of defining the vertical direction and resulting horizontal plane (levelling) for the differential ortho rectification. We propose a non-invasive, contactless method based on roll and pitch angular data provided by in-camera IMU sensors and embedded in the Exif metadata of JPEG and raw image files. We show how our approach can be seamlessly integrated into automatic SfM/MVS pipelines, provide the mathematical background, and showcase real-world applications results in an underwater monitoring project. The results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method and, for the first time, provide a metric evaluation of the definition of the vertical direction with low-cost sensors enclosed in digital cameras directly underwater.

A real-time algorithm for continuous navigation in intelligent transportation systems using LiDAR-Gyroscope-Odometer integration / Tarek Hassan in Journal of applied geodesy, vol 17 n° 1 (January 2023)

In these environments, positioning using Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) cannot provide continuous solutions due to the blockage of signals in harsh scenarios. Consequently, it is intrinsic to have an independent positioning system capable of providing accurate and reliable positional solutions over GNSS outages. This study exploits the integration of Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR), gyroscope, and odometer sensors, and a novel real-time algorithm is proposed for this integration. Real field data, collected by a moving land vehicle, is used to test the presented algorithm. Three simulated GNSS outages are introduced in the trajectory such that each outage lasts for five minutes. The results show that using the proposed algorithm can achieve a promising navigation performance in urban environments. In addition, it is shown that the denser environments, that existed over the second and third outages, can provide better positioning accuracies as more features are extracted. The horizontal errors over the first outage, with less density of surroundings, reached 7.74 m (0.43%) error with a mean value of 3.15 m. Moreover, the horizontal errors in the denser environments over the second and third outages reached 4.97 m (0.28%) and 3.99 m (0.23%), with mean values of 2.25 m and 1.89 m, respectively.

Benchmarking laser scanning and terrestrial photogrammetry to extract forest inventory parameters in a complex temperate forest / Daniel Kükenbrink in International journal of applied Earth observation and geoinformation, vol 113 (September 2022)

Traditional NFIs often rely on statistical sampling approaches as well as expert assessment which may suffer from observer bias and may lack robustness for time series analysis. Over the course of the last decade, close-range remote sensing techniques such as terrestrial and mobile laser scanning became ever more established for the assessment of three-dimensional (3D) forest structure. With the ongoing trend to make the systems smaller, easier to use and more efficient, the pathway is being opened for an operational inclusion of such devices within the framework of an NFI to support the traditional field assessment. Close-range remote sensing could potentially speed up field inventory work as well as increase the area in which certain parameters are assessed. Benchmarks are needed to evaluate the performance of different close-range remote sensing devices and approaches, both in terms of efficiency as well as accuracy. In this study we evaluate the performance of two terrestrial (TLS), one handheld mobile (PLS) and two drone based (UAVLS) laser scanning systems to detect trees and extract the diameter at breast height (DBH) in three plots with a steep gradient in tree and understorey vegetation density. As a novelty, we also tested the acquisition of 3D point-clouds using a low-cost action camera (GoPro) in conjunction with the Structure from Motion (SfM) technique and compared its performance with those of the more costly LiDAR devices. Among the many parameters evaluated in traditional NFIs, the focus of the performance evaluation of this study is set on the automatic tree detection and DBH extraction. The results showed that TLS delivers the highest tree detection rate (TDR) of up to 94.6% under leaf-off and up to 82% under leaf-on conditions and a relative RMSE (rRMSE) for the DBH extraction between 2.5 and 9%, depending on the undergrowth complexity. The tested PLS system (leaf-on) achieved a TDR of up to 80% with an rRMSE between 3.7 and 5.8%. The tested UAVLS systems showed lowest TDR of less than 77% under leaf-off and less than 37% under leaf-on conditions. The novel GoPro approach achieved a TDR of up to 53% under leaf-on conditions. The reduced TDR can be explained by the reduced area coverage due to the chosen circular acquisition path taken with the GoPro approach. The DBH extraction performance on the other hand is comparable to those of the LiDAR devices with an rRMSE between 2 and 9%. Further benchmarks are needed in order to fully assess the applicability of these systems in the framework of an NFI. Especially the robustness under varying forest conditions (seasonality) and over a broader range of forest types and canopy structure has to be evaluated.

3D browsing of wide-angle fisheye images under view-dependent perspective correction / Mingyi Huang in Photogrammetric record, vol 37 n° 178 (June 2022)

First, the fisheye imaging model with interior orientation parameters (IOPs) is established. Thereafter, a VDPC model for wide-angle fisheye images is proposed that adaptively selects correction planes for different areas of the image format. Finally, the wide-angle fisheye image is re-projected to obtain the visual effect of browsing in hemispherical space, using the VDPC model and IOPs of the fisheye camera calibrated using the ideal projection ellipse constraint. The proposed technique is tested on several downloaded internet images with unknown IOPs. Results show that the proposed VDPC model achieves a more uniform perspective correction of fisheye images in different areas, and preserves the detailed information with greater flexibility compared with the traditional perspective projection conversion (PPC) technique. The proposed algorithm generates a corrected image of 512 × 512 pixels resolution at a speed of 58 fps when run on a pure central processing unit (CPU) processor. With an ordinary graphics processing unit (GPU) processor, a corrected image of 1024 × 1024 pixels resolution can be generated at 60 fps. Therefore, smooth 3D visualisation of a fisheye image can be realised on a computer using the proposed algorithm, which may benefit applications such as panorama surveillance, robot navigation, etc. Numéro de notice : A2022-518 Affiliation des auteurs : non IGN Thématique : IMAGERIE Nature : Article DOI : 10.1111/phor.12410 Date de publication en ligne : 10/05/2022 En ligne : https://doi.org/10.1111/phor.12410 Format de la ressource électronique : URL article Permalink : https://documentation.ensg.eu/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=101068 [article]
