Abstract
This paper implements and evaluates experimentally a procedure for automatically georeferencing images acquired by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV’s) in the sense that ground control points (GCP) are not necessary. Since the camera model is necessary for georeferencing, this paper also proposes a completely automatic procedure for collecting corner pixels in the model plane image to solve the camera calibration problem, i.e., to estimate the camera and the lens distortion parameters. The performance of the complete georeferencing system is evaluated with real flight data obtained by a typical UAV.
