Review of Photogrammetry Techniques for 3D Scanning Tasks of Buildings

Abstract

The purpose of this work is a comparative analysis of photogrammetry methods for three-dimensional scanning of buildings. This work contains a description of the photogrammetric techniques and their comparison. The paper identifies the features that arise during the three-dimensional reconstruction of buildings. In this work, also, a comparison of photogrammetric programs was made. The paper contains research on the influence of the identified features on the quality of the resulting model. Synthetic test data were created for research based on generating a sequence of images of an existing three-dimensional object. The benchmark was developed to automate calculating model quality metrics: Hausdorff distance, mean error, and root mean square error. The program accepts two models as input, calculates the given metrics, and builds a similarity color map.
