Ground Control Points (GCPs)
• GCP is any point whose positions are known in an object-space reference coordinate system and whose images can be positively identified in the photographs.
• Used for• Geo-referencing products• Accurate determination of processing parameters (intrinsics & extrinsics)
• The accuracy of finished photogrammetric products can be no better than the ground control
• 3 Types – w.r.t measurement• Horizontal Control Points• Vertical Control Points• Full Control Points

Direct Geo-referencing
• The images taken from drones are geotagged. (or separate log file is provided)
• Photogrammetry software packages, such as PIE-UAV, can function without GCPs. Instead they use GPS data collected by a GPS logger or by a GPS-enabled camera to create a reasonably geographically accurate image.
• However aiding the model with accurate GCPs can increase the accuracy up to sub meter level
Task: Examine exif metadata in a image

Where do we need GCPs
• Ground control is essential when you need High Global Accuracy (in other words Absolute Accuracy)
• GCPS are needed when you need products to certain range of accuracy
• They are required to Verify the Accuracy.
Global Accuracy = Correspondence of map with the real world location w.r.t a fixed coordinate system

Where do we need GCPs
• Applications• Mapping the terrain - Contour Map / DTM / DSM
• Civil Engineering Construction Project design
• Property boundary survey
• Land title surveys
• Insurance assessments
• Large volume measurements
• Volume measurements: When Contracted to provide measurements within a certain range of accuracy
• General liability

Where GCPs can be omitted
• When the area is small and only relative accuracy is important; you can omit GCPs
Relative Accuracy: Correspondence of the map locations relative to the other locations of the same map
![Page 14: Photogrammetric Ground Control · •Flood monitoring •Forest fire monitoring •Small scale area measurements •Small scale volume measurements •Construction progress monitoring](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042318/5f07ae5b7e708231d41e3407/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Where GCPs can be omitted
• Application• Flood monitoring
• Forest fire monitoring
• Small scale area measurements
• Small scale volume measurements
• Construction progress monitoring and management
• Crop monitoring
• 3D modelling
• Visual inspection of powerlines/buildings
![Page 15: Photogrammetric Ground Control · •Flood monitoring •Forest fire monitoring •Small scale area measurements •Small scale volume measurements •Construction progress monitoring](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042318/5f07ae5b7e708231d41e3407/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Establishing GCPs – Factors to be considered
• Accuracy Requirement of the task• As a general rule of thumb, photo control should contain error no greater
than one-third the horizontal map accuracy
• Type of equipment and field techniques
• Budget
• Terrain Condition and GCP distribution
![Page 16: Photogrammetric Ground Control · •Flood monitoring •Forest fire monitoring •Small scale area measurements •Small scale volume measurements •Construction progress monitoring](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042318/5f07ae5b7e708231d41e3407/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Ground control design
• GCPs must be• sharp, well defined, and positively identified on all photos
• must lie in favourable locations in the photographs
Artificial GCPs Natural GCPs
![Page 17: Photogrammetric Ground Control · •Flood monitoring •Forest fire monitoring •Small scale area measurements •Small scale volume measurements •Construction progress monitoring](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042318/5f07ae5b7e708231d41e3407/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Ground control designPlacement of GCPs
• Should be placed homogeneously in the area of interest.
• 5 to 10 GCPs are usually enough, even for large projects. More GCPs do not contribute significantly to increasing the accuracy. It is recommended to place one GCP in the centre of the area in order to further increase the quality of the reconstruction. A minimum number of 5 GCPs is recommended.
![Page 18: Photogrammetric Ground Control · •Flood monitoring •Forest fire monitoring •Small scale area measurements •Small scale volume measurements •Construction progress monitoring](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042318/5f07ae5b7e708231d41e3407/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Ground control designPlacement of GCPs
• Terrain variations should be considered. If the terrain is undulated, GCPs are needed distributed in the undulated features. (Ex: Ridges and Valleys) to get required height accuracy
• In cases that the topography of the area is complex, then more GCPs will, indeed, lead to better more accurate reconstruction.
![Page 19: Photogrammetric Ground Control · •Flood monitoring •Forest fire monitoring •Small scale area measurements •Small scale volume measurements •Construction progress monitoring](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042318/5f07ae5b7e708231d41e3407/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Artificial & Natural GCPs• Natural GCPs Sometimes misidentified
• Artificial markers’ unique appearance makes misidentification of artificial targets unlikely
• Disadvantages of artificial targets are that extra work and expense
![Page 20: Photogrammetric Ground Control · •Flood monitoring •Forest fire monitoring •Small scale area measurements •Small scale volume measurements •Construction progress monitoring](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042318/5f07ae5b7e708231d41e3407/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Design of Artificial Markers for GCPs
• Main elements in target design • Good colour contrast – Dark background; light target
• Symmetricity
• Target size - yields a satisfactory image on the resulting photographs
![Page 21: Photogrammetric Ground Control · •Flood monitoring •Forest fire monitoring •Small scale area measurements •Small scale volume measurements •Construction progress monitoring](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042318/5f07ae5b7e708231d41e3407/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
This design is termed as optimum design for GCPs in aerial mapping
![Page 22: Photogrammetric Ground Control · •Flood monitoring •Forest fire monitoring •Small scale area measurements •Small scale volume measurements •Construction progress monitoring](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042318/5f07ae5b7e708231d41e3407/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
What makes GCPs bad
• Obstacles: Don’t put GCPs under a tree
• Clustered Distribution
• Edges: If the GCPs located in the edge of the surveyed area, there will be no adequate images to mark them
• Movement: when GCPs are underweighted or placed in unsecured places
• Size: Too large or Too Small
• Not Flat Surface

Total Station survey to establish GCP
![Page 29: Photogrammetric Ground Control · •Flood monitoring •Forest fire monitoring •Small scale area measurements •Small scale volume measurements •Construction progress monitoring](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042318/5f07ae5b7e708231d41e3407/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Total Station survey to establish GCP
• Very High Accuracy
• Ability to perform remote measurements
• Appropriate for projects which is small in area and require very high accuracy – Ex: Accurate 3D model of building
• Time intensive and high labour cost
• Need at least 3 known points to georeferenced to a world coordinate system
![Page 30: Photogrammetric Ground Control · •Flood monitoring •Forest fire monitoring •Small scale area measurements •Small scale volume measurements •Construction progress monitoring](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042318/5f07ae5b7e708231d41e3407/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
GNSS for GCP establishment• Most convenient way to establish GCPs
• cm level accuracy with RTK/PPK
• GNSSS survey cost??
• What types of GNSS units to be used?
