Aerial photos to DEM / DTM

Posted by Shaw Innes on April 21, 2011 at 5:07pm

I'm interested in producing DEM or pointcloud maps from aerial photos from a UAV.Just wondering if anyone knows of a resource we I can obtain sample photos from aerial platforms so I can look at the software side of things.I'm hoping to implement the software so as to require minimal manual intervention - basically just drop a heap of images (and possibly IMU data) - create point clouds, and then output DEM.ThanksShaw

Also, The guys we work with use ERDAS Imagine for most of their work. There are some plugins that supposedly automate the process a little bit.

If anyone has something better, please contact me.

We have been looking at EnsoMosaic but have had poor results. We think there are some things that can help, but we're not there yet.

Shaw,

I'm not sure if this helps because it has hefty price tag but look up "EnsoMosaic."
