Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Path Planning and Image Processing for Orthoimagery and Digital Surface Model Generation

Due to their relatively cheap costs and ability to fly at low altitudes above ground, micro unmanned aerial vehicles are ideal platforms for performing photogrammetric missions above archaeological sites. Advances in image matching and 3D point-cloud generation from 2D images have allowed easier gen...
