Geocue Terraphoto

TerraPhoto software produces highly accurate orthorectified images from aerial images captured during airborne laser scanning missions. It uses a triangulated irregular network of ground laser points to model terrain and project images onto the surface. Camera trajectories and calibration can be adjusted during processing to improve positional accuracy. The software includes tools for manually or automatically searching tie points between images for aerial triangulation.

TrueOrthos through Airborne Laser Scanning


TerraPhoto produces orthorectified images from airborne images. It is specifically developed to
process images, which are taken during a laser-scanning mission. TerraPhoto uses TIN of ground
laser points for an accurate projection model. Some known points on the ground are used only
for quality control. A seamless compatibility with the other Terrasolids applications for laser
mapping and the complete orthorectification simultaneously with laser point processing does
not let you pass TerraPhoto.

Let You Adjust Trajectories and Camera


Calibration
TerraPhotos approach to orthorectification is simpler
and more accurate than in most competing packages.
The rectification routine has the following advantages:
Single pass method creates directly a mosaic of an
orthorectified grid.
Triangulated laser surface model follows accurately
all terrain features. The system computes an elevation value for each pixel in the orthophoto.
Automatic smoothing of colour transitions between
the images.
Due to the inaccuracy of the GPS/ IMU system the information of trajectories may be insufficient. Sometimes
the camera may shake during the survey too. Therefore
the calibration of camera defined in laboratory may not
be valid any more.
By searching tie points by TerraPhoto let you to adjust
both trajectories and camera calibration before orthorectification. This adjustment is important especially
if your target is to reach the best possible accuracy for
the location of the orthoimages.
Processing time depends on the desired quality level of
the final product. After searching tie points TerraPhoto
creates an orthophoto mosaic automatic.
Lidar data points with high-resolution images are the most
sophisticated data to create a 3D-city model. You can process this
by using Terrasolids packages for Lidar mapping.

Camera Parameters
The camera model in TerraPhoto includes the following
parameters:
Focal point x, y and z relative to image plate.
Heading, roll and pitch misalignment between
camera and IMU.
Radial distortion parameters for the lens.
Tangential distortion parameters for the lens.
TerraPhoto does not only rely on the radial and the
tangential lens distortion parameters provided by the
system manufacturer. TerraPhoto offers also an interactive method to define the full camera calibration
information by using the tie points.

Powerful Tools to Search Tie Points


Tie points can be used to improve the positional accuracy of the images and to produce perfectly positioned
orthophotos.
TerraPhoto supports four different types of tie points:
known xyz, known xy, common point on ground elevation and common point at unknown elevation. Typically
the majority of tie points in a project are common points
seen in multiple images for which one does not know
the coordinates before hand.

Tie points search takes place in three view windows. Top window is for
navigating and two windows below are for showing the location of tie
points. The user shows first some points and then TerraPhoto searches
points automatic. Tie point form shows the values of each point and
let you remove worst hits.
With TerraPhoto you can apply manual, semi-automatic or fully automatic methods for searching the tie
points. The selection of an appropriate method one
must decide case by case depending on the quality of
the raw images, the type of the survey area and the
xy-accuracy aimed.

Aerial Triangulation
Tie points can be used in an aerial triangulation process,
which improves the positions and/or the orientations
of individual raw images. This will completely remove
positional mismatches between raw images.

Perspective Views
Raw, aerial photos can be used without turning them
into orthorectified images. TerraPhoto can display a
bird-eye view from the location of the camera. This
view is useful not only to see the camera location for
each frame itself but you cane use it when you work
with e.g. the laser points and the vectorized design
elements. It let you to compare 3D-vectors with an aerial photos without needing to orthorectify the photos
first.

Viewing Orthophotos
TerraPhoto displays orthorectified images as reference of
MicroStation. The supported file formats include among
other ECW, GeoTIFF, TIFF, BMP and JPG 2000.
True Orthophotos can be produced from airborne laser points and
high-resolution images by using TerraScan and TerraPhoto. Yellow
lines show the edges of building roofs.

TerraPhoto Viewer is a light version of the full version.


It is available for users, who want to view orthophotos
as references as well as render RPC cells and large volumes of raster images draped over a TIN.
