EDGESOBEL

Purpose

To make an edge Photo using the Sobel edge detector operator. The result edge Photo is a binary image, whose pixel values are either 0, background, or 255, edge pixel.

Class

Photo

Usage

{Photo} ret = object.EDGESOBEL([{double} argm1])

argm1 = a cutoff value.

A pixel whose slope magnitude larger than cutoff value is considered edge pixel. If not given, the function will determine it by using a noise estimation function.

Example:

->ph2 = ph1.edgesobel()

Purpose

To perform Exterior Orientation (EO) using bundle adjustment single photo resection. The function requires at least 3 ground control points, with x y z coordinate. The input measure coordinates on the photograph can be either row and column numbers, x y image rectangular coordinates, or x y photo coordinates. See details in Understanding Coordinate System.

The function assumes that row and column numbers as input data are measured from the calling photo. If not, they must be converted to x y image rectangular coordinates, or x y photo coordinates. Sometimes the user might measure row and column numbers of points on the original full size image, while the calling photo is a portion, sub-images, of the original photos.

In most circumstances, it is necessary to perform Interior Orientation (IO) prior to EO. IO parameters are used to transform between row and column numbers or x y image rectangular coordinates to x y photo coordinates.

The results Exterior Orientation Parameters (EOP) are used to updated EOP of the calling photo object.

Moreover, an ASCII text file is automatically generated after the EO is done. Also a matrix containing EOP and all related information are return to the user. This matrix is is actually where the information in the report is from. By comparing the returning matrix to the report, the user can easily figure out what output information is represented by which part of the matrix.

The computation of this function does not involve image data, therefore, it is possible to load the photo in virtual mode, using function "vload". This can reduce computer time tremendously, especially when the size of the photo is very large.

Class

Photo

Usage

{Matrix} ret = object.EO({VecIdPt2D} argm1, {VecIdPt3D} argm2, [{String} argm3, {int} argm4])

argm1 = list of coordinates with ID, measured on photo

argm2 = list of ground control coordinates with ID

argm3 = output file name for the report    (default = "RPT_EO.txt")

argm4 = type of measuring coordinates on the photo,

        must be 0(row and column), 1(image rectangular coordinate), or 2(photo coordinate)

       (default = 0 (row and column number))

Example:

->Mtmp = ph1.EO(vec_1, vec_2, "my_EO_report", 0)

Purpose

To perform Exterior Orientation (EO) and self calibration of 1 camera parameter, using bundle adjustment single photo resection. The function requires at least 3 ground control points, with x y z coordinate. The input measure coordinates on the photograph can be either row and column numbers, x y image rectangular coordinates, or x y photo coordinates. See details in Understanding Coordinate System.
