A method of identifying and locating encoded artificial points automatically in close range digital photogrammetry

Abstract

Using coding artificial point can match the homonymy points during multiple images automatically in the photogrammetry. A method of identifying and locating 8 bits encoded points automatically has been presented in this paper. The experimental results show that the accuracy of center coordinate of encoding point reaches sub-pixel level. And decoding method is simple. The robust of decoding and recognition rate is high. So it can meet the requirements of close range photogrammetry fully.
