3d terrain generation from 2D images

Jamie Morken
Hi,

I am interested in the algorithm used in this paper on pages
10 to pages 13, it describes a glider with a camera that takes
images at a rate of 3Hz, and records the GPS coordinates for
the images.  Over a 5 minute flight thousands of images are
recorded with the GPS information, and this is then fed into
a supercomputer which outputs a detailed heightmap from this
data.

Can the ImageJ library already do this potentially?

Thanks for any pointers! :)

cheers,
Jamie

Dear Jamie,

Potentially, you wanted to attatch a link to the paper you refer to. This
seemed to be missing in your post.
First of all, a useful output depends on how the imaging data are stored. I
have no experience with the method you described but I know from some
satellite imaging that depending on the imaging mode the resulting pixel
data reflect the height of the terrain.

Therefore, the pixel intensity codes the height e.g. in meters. Therefore,
I guess this will be stored as a 16-bit or a 32-bit image (unsigned).

These images you can use as a basis for the "Interactive 3D Surface Plot"
from Kai Uwe Barthel in Fiji (>Analyze >3D Surface Plot) also available as
downloadable plugin for ImageJ (
http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/plugins/surface-plot-3d.html). This sould
visualize what you might want to show.

Regards,
Jan
