Abstract
This paper presents an automatic procedure for combining digital images and laser scanner data in order to have a full representation of a scene. In particular, this procedure will serve photogrammetric close range applications such as 3D digital preservation and documentation of cultural heritages by generating comprehensive virtual reality models. Our method is based on a bundle block adjustment for the orientation estimation of generated images from laser data and camera images by means of an optimized Structure from Motion reconstruction method. This results in having target-free registration of multiple laser scans and absolute image orientations. The proposed pipeline was tested on a real case study and experimental results are shown to demonstrate the effectiveness of the presented approach.
