Abstract

The automation of imagery analysis processes leads to the need to detect change between pairs of aerial reconnaissance images. Approximate camera models are available for these images, accurate up to a translation, and these are augmented with further constraints relating to the task of monitoring vehicles. Horizontal, bilateral, Euclidean symmetry is used as a generic object model by which segmented curves are grouped, first in a 2-d approximation, and then in 3-d, resulting in a sparse 3-d Euclidean reconstruction of a symmetric object from a single view. The method is applied to sample images of parked aircraft.
