relative geometry

relative geometry#

After pre-processing the images, the next step is to calibrate the camera model(s) by estimating the intrinsic parameters for each camera, and estimating a relative orientation of the different images.

  • First, mm3d Tapioca is used to compute tie points between the images

  • Then, mm3d Tapas is used to calibrate the camera parameters and compute the initial relative orientation of the images. mm3d Martini can be used first, to help initialize the orientation and improve the overall Tapas result.

  • Finally, mm3d Malt is used to compute the relative DEM and orthophotos. mm3d Tawny can also be used to compute the relative orthomosaic.
