Predicting growing stock volume of Eucalyptus plantations using 3-D point clouds derived from UAV imagery and ALS data [PDF]
Estimating forest inventory variables is important in monitoring forest resources and mitigating climate change. In this respect, forest managers require flexible, non-destructive methods for estimating volume and biomass.

GSLAM: Initialization-robust Monocular Visual SLAM via Global Structure-from-Motion
Many monocular visual SLAM algorithms are derived from incremental structure-from-motion (SfM) methods. This work proposes a novel monocular SLAM method which integrates recent advances made in global SfM. In particular, we present two main contributions

Exploiting low-cost 3D imagery for the purposes of detecting and analyzing pavement distresses [PDF]
Road pavement conditions have significant impacts on safety, travel times, costs, and environmental effects. It is the responsibility of road agencies to ensure these conditions are kept in an acceptable state.

The wood yield of hedge banks is very heterogeneous and hard to estimate in advance. The aim of the present study was to estimate the dry biomass of hedge banks shortly before harvesting using two different non-destructive approaches: (i) allometric ...

Perceptual Biases in the Interpretation of Non-Rigid Shape Transformations from Motion
Most existing research on the perception of 3D shape from motion has focused on rigidly moving objects. However, many natural objects deform non-rigidly, leading to image motion with no rigid interpretation.

Suitability of ground-based SfM-MVS for monitoring glacial and periglacial processes [PDF]
Photo-based surface reconstruction is rapidly emerging as an alternative survey technique to lidar (light detection and ranging) in many fields of geoscience fostered by the recent development of computer vision algorithms such as structure from motion ...

Application of ‘Structure from Motion’ (SfM) technique in physical hydraulic modelling
Abstract There are many methods available for measurement of bed morphology in physical hydraulic model studies considering mobile bed sediment. Among which, there are sophisticated instrumentations which provide quality results in shorter time but are vastly expensive and requires special training for execution. Whereas the conventional

Abstract. The purpose of this research study is to assess the potential using smartphone camera captured images for 3D model reconstruction by using Structure from Motion (SFM) photogrammetry technique, specifically in term of volumetric measurement. In past, the volumetric measurement of surface or object is by using Imaging Station or by professional

Archival photogrammetric analysis of river–floodplain systems using Structure from Motion (SfM) methods [PDF]
AbstractIn this study we evaluate the extent to which accurate topographic data can be obtained by applying Structure from Motion (SfM) photogrammetric methods to archival imagery. While SfM has proven valuable in photogrammetric applications using specially acquired imagery (e.g. from unmanned aerial vehicles), it also has the potential to improve the
