UNMANNED AERIAL SYSTEMS (UAS) IMAGE PREPROCESSING TO REDUCE ARTIFACTS AND IMPROVE GEOMETRIC REGISTRATION WHEN GENERATING ORTHOPHOTO MOSAICS AND 3D MODELS
<p>Drones can now be used to quickly collect imagery data in a highly automated way; however, individual images must be combined to form an orthomosaic or 3-Dimentional (3D) model using photogrammetry software. Currently, the existing software may generate erroneous output in the form of artifacts …
