Accuracy of UAV-based DEMs without ground control points
AbstractUnmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are increasingly used in various environmental research projects and other activities that require accurate topography images. The quality of elevation models derived from UAV measurements varies depending on many variables (e.g. UAV equipment used, terrain conditions, etc.).

Accurate disparity estimation in light field using ground control points [PDF]
The recent development of light field cameras has received growing interest, as their rich angular information has potential benefits for many computer vision tasks. In this paper, we introduce a novel method to obtain a dense disparity map by use of ground control points (GCPs) in the light field.

Automated Ground Control Point Identification using Deep Learning Techniques
Ground Control Points (GCPs) play a crucial role in photogrammetry, providing essential information for georeferencing, registration and scaling of aerial and satellite imagery. These reference points, with known coordinates, are strategically placed and precisely measured on the ground to achieve accurate georeferencing in the photogrammetric process.
