UASMaster

UASMaster is the right tool for complete processing of data acquired with unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). UASMaster combines ease of use with the full power of a photogrammetric workstation.

UASMaster is fully compatible with all other standard Inpho Photogrammetry modules.

The UASMaster is bridging the gap between simple near black‐box workflows for non‐photogrammetrists and photogrammetry expert workflows. It combines very intuitive guided workflows with flexibility, highly effective interactive editing tools and thorough quality assurance reports required by the advanced user.

Main advantages:

Intuitive guided workflow concept for the photogrammetric novice which perfectly integrates into any photogrammetric workflow.
A complete photogrammetric workflow combined in one single product.
Quick black-box or multi-step processing with quality-optimized or performance optimized parameter presets.

Process data from any type of UAS.
Multi-camera support (cameras up to 51 MP).
Excellent results without requiring specialized photogrammetry knowledge or experience.

Key features:

Georeferncing
Creating colorized 3D Point Clouds,
surface models and bare earth terrain models
Creating Digital,
Orthophotographs, Classic Orthos
as well as True Orthos

The aerial triangulation process adjusts the aerial photos, automatically finding matching tie points in overlapping images to correct their relative positions and orientations. Easily register ground control points (GCP’s) to correct the absolute position and scale of the photo blocks. Image adjustment is executed automatically, requiring only 10 seconds per image to process (incl. camera refinement) and achieving an average re‐projection error of about 1 pixel.

Automatically matched tie‐points are distributed densely over the complete project, even in challenging low‐texture terrain. Additional features such as full camera calibration, automatic quality assurance and blunder removal are available to ensure result quality.

Powerful datum transformation capabilities for all project relevant data are embedded to provide flexible use for all world‐wide existing coordinate‐systems.

Automatically create 3D point clouds from adjusted photos with a density of up to 1 point per ground pixel. The fully automatic point cloud generation algorithms are based on state‐of-the‐art Inpho dense matching and DTM generation software. It automatically adapts parameters to guarantee precision, providing extremely detailed and accurate results at a speed of about 3 sec. per image with about 1‐2 pixels height accuracy. A raster DSM created from the generated point cloud is refined using sophisticated interpolation routines, noise filtering, edge modeling and outlier detection to achieve rich detail within surface models.

Automatically create ortho‐rectified, georeferenced and color balanced mosaics from adjusted imagery. Rigid “True‐Ortho” rectification combined with outstanding geometric feature‐based seamline‐finding and radiometric balancing result in perfect looking seamless ortho‐mosaics. Seams are adaptively blended according to image texture analysis. Radiometric single image corrections as well image group corrections are applied for perfect homogeneous colors and intensity, ready for GIS use. The automatic process only takes about 4 sec. per image. In addition, classic ortho‐mosaics may be created, based on a bare‐earth DTM. The fully automatic rectification and mosaicking process is using either the height model generated within the internal process or alternatively a given points and vectors file can be assigned. For maximum output quality control, local ortho updates within selected areas can be performed from within the terrain editing tasks.
