Photogrammetric and Multisensor Position Registration for Ground Penetrating Radars
This innovation utilizes geophysical instruments (i.e., GPR) moving across the ground to figure out what is under the earth’s surface. The question involves finding out where the object is located within a centimeter. To overcome the localization or registration challenge, the team turned to the smartphone technology and incorporated photogrammetry...
