The Application of Bundle Block Adjustment with Conditions in Platform Calibration of Four-Head Aerial Digital Camera

Abstract

Abstract:

The method of bundle block adjustment with conditions aims at the four-head aerial digital camera is discussed. The exterior orientation parameters of camera and relative positions of sub-cameras are calculated to derive platform calibration parameters. The experiment results verified that the precision of platform calibration parameters calculated with this method is high, the quality of virtual images are good, and the mapping precision satisfies the large scale and medium scale specifications of survey.

Key words: TOPDC-4, aerial digital camera, bundle block adjustment, platform calibration
