Developments
Applications are steadily growing
Variety of Sensors create increasingly dense point clouds
Variety of Processing Software
How to tackle the storage and fast retrieval problem?
6Challenge the future
DIM allows point densities similar to the ground sampling distance (GSD) of the imagery: GSD of 10cm 100 height points per square meter.
Driving Forces - Programmable graphical processing units (GPUs) - New algorithms Semi-global matching (SGM) algorithm introduced by Hirschmüller (2008) - Cheap computer power - Cheap digital cameras provide high-quality imagery, while large overlaps do not add to costs - Open source packages available from computer vision.
Dense Image Matching (DIM)
7Challenge the future
Aerial multi camera systems capture oblique and nadir imagery at the same time full and intuitive view on both building footprints and facades beneficial for creating 3D city models.

Oblique Images
Challenging for oblique imagery:• Large scale variations• Illumination changes• Many occlusions
Many questions are still open (Remondino et al., 2014): - when to use oblique imagery; - what are its strengths and weaknesses; - what is the optimal acquisition patterns for metric mapping; - how to deal with illumination and scale changes - which processing software is reliable and efficient?
Need for performance measures of DIM software for obliqueimagery (See Deuber et al., 2014)
11Challenge the future
Airborne Lidar
Routinely used for: - 3D modelling of urban areas - capturing boreal forests - Mapping Power Lines, etc. Status: - Increasing laser pulses frequencies (up to one million per second) - Multiple pulses in air - (full) waveform digitization
Trends: - Multispectral Lidar - Photon Lidar - Lidar on a UAS

Multispectral Lidar
13Challenge the future
Multispectral Lidar
The 3 beams do not pass the exact same path the 3 multispectral points do not refer to the same terrain point.
Envisioned applications - topographic surveying - shallow water bathymetry - environmental modelling - urban surface mapping - land cover classification.
Combination through gridding raster rather than a point cloud.

14Challenge the future
Further ImprovementsEach terrain point is recorded in each of the three wavelengths Manufacturing a system where the beams overlap precisely and the returns are measured simultaneously.

Radar DTMs and DSMs provide vegetation height maps and combined with biomass ground truth the biomass/carbon stocks can be estimatedCourtesy: Sambatti and Lübeck, 2014
19Challenge the future
SLAM
GNSS signals are blocked indoors.
Solution: ‘guessing’ the position and representing the space based on sensor data and prior knowledge.Guesses are iteratively refined using data collected while the robot is moving.Algorithms based on the iterative closest point (ICP) algorithm aimed at minimizing the difference between successive point clouds and the extended Kalman filter.Central is the use of landmarks; features distinct from the background.
Positioning sensors: odometers, INS and lasers.
