“…However, this was immediately followed by five other flights following the same flight plan but with the sensor tilted upwards, downwards, to the left and to the right respectively. This generates oblique images and is designed to cover the most details and hidden parts in a systematic manner (Murtiyoso et al, 2016). However, the main downfall of this method is that the same flight plan must be flown five times, which generates problems related to texture homogeneity, flight time, and battery.…”

“…Heritage documentation naturally benefits from these developments, as it complements terrestrial techniques . Some examples in this domain include the modeling of façades (Cefalu et al, 2013;Fritsch et al, 2013a;Murtiyoso et al, 2016), whole buildings or monuments (Alidoost and Arefi, 2015;Chiabrando et al, 2015;Suwardhi et al, 2015), and post-catastrophe damage assessment (Achille et al, 2015;Baiocchi et al, 2013).…”

ABSTRACT:Close-range photogrammetry is an image-based technique which has often been used for the 3D documentation of heritage objects. Recently, advances in the field of image processing and UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) have resulted in a renewed interest in this technique. However, commercially ready-to-use UAVs are often equipped with smaller sensors in order to minimize payload and the quality of the documentation is still an issue. In this research, two commercial UAVs (the Sensefly Albris and DJI Phantom 3 Professional) were setup to record the 19 th century St-Pierre-le-Jeune church in Strasbourg, France. Several software solutions (commercial and open source) were used to compare both UAVs' images in terms of calibration, accuracy of external orientation, as well as dense matching. Results show some instability in regards to the calibration of Phantom 3, while the Albris had issues regarding its aerotriangulation results. Despite these shortcomings, both UAVs succeeded in producing dense point clouds of up to a few centimeters in accuracy, which is largely sufficient for the purposes of a city 3D GIS (Geographical Information System). The acquisition of close range images using UAVs also provides greater LoD flexibility in processing. These advantages over other methods such as the TLS (Terrestrial Laser Scanning) or terrestrial close range photogrammetry can be exploited in order for these techniques to complement each other.

“…In its role as an aid to photogrammetric work, the UAV has been applied in various fields, such as disaster management [14,30], 3D building reconstruction [31], surveying/mapping [32], environmental conservation [18] and heritage documentation [15,33].…”

“…A fixed-wing UAV typically has the advantage of a larger mapping zone and lighter weight. However, it is more limited in payload and may be more sensitive to wind conditions [15]. Exceptions to this case include larger sized fixed-wing UAVs, which are often fueled by combustion engines rather than electric batteries.…”

Close-range photogrammetry as a technique to acquire reality-based 3D data has, in recent times, seen a renewed interest due to developments in sensor technologies. Furthermore, the strong democratization of UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) or drones means that close-range photogrammetry can now be used as a viable low-cost method for 3D mapping. In terms of software development, this led to the creation of many commercial black-box solutions (PhotoScan, Pix4D, etc.). This paper aims to demonstrate how the open source toolbox DBAT (Damped Bundle Adjustment Toolbox) can be used to generate detailed photogrammetric network diagnostics to help assess the quality of surveys processed by the commercial software, PhotoScan. In addition, the Apero module from the MicMac software suite was also used to provide an independent assessment of the results. The assessment is performed by the careful examination of some of the bundle adjustment metrics generated by both open source solutions. A UAV project was conducted on a historical church in the city center of Strasbourg, France, in order to provide a dataset with a millimetric level of precision. Results showed that DBAT can be used to reprocess PhotoScan projects under similar conditions and derive useful metrics from them, while Apero provides a completely independent verification of the results of commercial solutions. Overall, this paper shows that an objective assessment of photogrammetric results is important. In cases where problems are encountered in the project, this assessment method can be useful to detect errors that may not be explicitly presented by PhotoScan.
