ISPRS WG II/1

Image Orientation and Fusion

Our Mission

ISPRS Working Group II/1 aims to promote the development of new approaches and algorithms related to image matching, orientation, alignment and fusion applied to various data sources such as conventional as well as unconventional images. The sources include but are not limited to close-range, airborne, underwater and spaceborne imagery. Fostering collaborations between photogrammetry and computer vision scientists and societies, encouraging open-source developments, and wide-scale knowledge dissemination will be at the core of the working group activities. WG II/I will also create reliable test benchmarks to support researchers in evaluating the performance, robustness, and applicability of their algorithms and methodologies.

Terms of Reference

• Orientation of classical and unconventional images including but not limited to oblique images, images from cameras with rolling shutter, RGBD images, crowd-sourced images, historical images, and thermal infrared images
• Multimodal image matching for alignment, registration and fusion of multi-source imagery, e.g. optical and radar images
• Geometric, algebraic and learning-based approaches to multi-view stereo and structure-from-motion (SfM)
• Modern approaches in intrinsic/extrinsic camera calibration and bundle adjustment (BA), e.g. single-image calibration, online calibration, methods for handling ambiguous and degenerate configurations, large-scale BA, and structureless BA
• Vision-based measurement of dynamic processes, e.g. structural deformations
• Evaluation of performance, reliability, robustness, and generality of methods
