Abstract
Vision metrology – targeted, calibrated, high-accuracy industrial photogrammetry – is familiar ground at CMSC. This talk asks what happens beyond it: at the less automated, less accurate close-range applications that use an ordinary consumer digital camera in uncontrolled environments and no targets at all. Hanley and Fraser start from familiar high-accuracy examples measured with the Australis system – a railway bridge and a small ship section, both with retro targets, both holding about 1:20,000 of size – and move outward to what the iWitness approach makes possible for users who are not metrologists.
