[OSGeo-Discuss] looking for OS softwre to stitch aerial photos automatically
Hi, does anybody know a open source tool to stitch a bunch of aerial photographs automatically by detecting similar pixelareas? I know that GRASS is pretty good in processing images, but I there's no funtion to patch a bunch of aerial photos by detecting similarities in overlapping areas, I guess. Hopefully, I'm wrong.

Sounds like the kind of thing I'd expect ossim to have, but I never got it to work.

I'm aware of some semi-automatic stitching of areal imagery using Hugin http://hugin.sourceforge.net/ Jeff has used it with video frames from a camera attached to a kite: http://unterbahn.com/2010/01/kite-video-generation-of-aerial-imagery/ And I'm very interested in using Hugin and other Panorama stiching tools to help make cheap aerial imagery as one of the stages within MapWarper.

Yep :) Well, to be honest, the module need (severe?) updating: http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/Image_processing#Image_matching - i.points.auto Cheers Markus ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] looking for OS softwre to stitch aerial photos automatically
I've been using Hugin in an attempt to do this process. While the control point generation works out ok (note there are some licensing restrictions due to patents in all the current algorithms) the stitching never comes out quite right because of hugin's insistence on warping to a projection that assumes a camera mounted on a stationary tripod. In discussions with some of the OSSIM team, they are interested in this area but the current app does not do this. Other options that have come up are OpenCv and Nasa Image Workbench but both of these are programming libraries and would require c/c++ coding. It would be great to collaborate on getting this implemented in an OSGeo project. I know several researchers with a need for a tool that does this.

I am not sure what Opticks (opticks.org) can do by now really since I checked it last time... but you may have a look. If you find something can you report back? so I can update my FOS GIS projects paper/map I am writing on.

RE: [OSGeo-Discuss] looking for OS softwre to stitch aerial photosautomatically
As an Opticks committer, I can say it does not do that out-of-the-box. You could write something using our C++, Python or IDL interfaces. We have no current plans to add this capability, since the focus of Opticks is MASINT and non-literal exploitation.
