Problems solved by technology

The stitching process of this method is simple, the stitching process does not require manual intervention, the stitching time is short, and no other geographical control information is required in the stitching, but the disadvantage of this method is that there is image distortion in the final stitched image, especially when the shooting area When the value is larger, the distortion of the spliced ​​image is more obvious

Embodiment 1

[0064] In a specific embodiment, a method for mosaicing UAV images based on 3D reconstruction is provided, such as figure 1 shown, including:

[0065] Step S100: Obtain unordered images captured by the drone camera in the shooting area.

[0066] Step S200: Extract feature points from the acquired disordered images, perform feature matching on the extracted feature points, obtain matching feature point pairs, and arrange disordered images in order according to the matching feature point pairs.

[0067] Scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT, Scale-invariant feature transform, SIFT) operator is used to extract feature points. Feature points include SIFT feature points themselves and SIFT feature vectors corresponding to SIFT feature points. Due to the large amount of image data acquired, The amount of calculation in the processing process is large, so using a graphics processing unit (GPU, Graphics Processing Unit) for SIFT operator extraction can greatly improve the running s...

Abstract

The invention provides a three-dimensional reconstruction-based unmanned aerial vehicle image stitching method. The method comprises the following steps of: obtaining unordered images shot by an unmanned aerial vehicle camera in a shooting area; carrying out feature point extraction on the obtained unordered images, carrying out feature matching on the extracted feature points to obtain matched feature point pairs; and sorting the unordered images according to the matched feature points and a sequence; analyzing the matched feature points so as to obtain camera attitude parameters, distortionparameters and space coordinates of the feature points; carrying out image clustering on the arranged images according to the camera attitude parameters and the space coordinates of the feature pointsso as to form a plurality of image clusters, respectively extracting dense point clouds of the image clusters, and completing dense matching; and carrying out ortho-rectification on the dense matchedimages according to the dense point clouds, the camera attitude parameters and the distortion parameters, and stitching the ortho-rectified images to obtain a stitched image. According to the method,the stitching speed is improved and projection distortion is not caused. The invention furthermore provides an unmanned aerial vehicle image stitching system.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of remote sensing image mosaic technology, in particular to a method for mosaicing images of drones based on three-dimensional reconstruction, and also to a system for mosaicing images of drones based on three-dimensional reconstruction. Background technique [0002] In modern society, remote sensing technology has become a necessary high-tech means for human beings to obtain information about the geographical environment and its changes. Compared with the costly space remote sensing system, UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, referred to as UAV), as a remote sensing platform for space photography and earth observation, has a huge advantage in cost. At the same time, the UAV remote sensing (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Remote Sensing, referred to as UAVRS) system technology has irreplaceable advantages of other remote sensing technologies. It uses fixed-wing UAV, unmanned rotorcraft, and vertical take-off and landing U...
