Rapid Modelling of Urban Mission Areas Using Ground-Based Imagery
other
Current modelling techniques for urban mission areas are mainly based on the use of data which is not specific or detailed enough to accurately model an existing area. Consequently, additional (manual) effort and time are required to perform data acquisition and to model the environment. The operational need for quick turn-around time on environment modelling urges us to find new solutions to improve this process and seamlessly integrate it into existing modelling work flows. This paper reports on the potential use of ground-based 360° panoramic photographs for modelling of urban mission areas. These photographs have been acquired with the use of a mobile platform. Each photograph has been geographically registered. A number of experiments have been carried out to analyse and determine sensor data quality. In addition, the integration of the method into the existing work flow has been examined. A demonstrator database was built to assess the quality of the results and to determine its degree of applicability in multi-functional simulations, concerning both virtual simulations and the constructive simulations that are used in our analysis tools.
