  • Dark image enhancement
    Patent number: 11948286
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for enhancing images for metrological applications. The method comprises the steps: 1) providing a geometric correction image having an image geometric correctness higher than the processed image geometric correctness and showing at least a part of the scene of interest, and 2) at least partially reducing the loss of initial metrological information in the distorted metrological information by fusing the enhanced image with the geometric correction image.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 19, 2021
    Date of Patent: April 2, 2024
    Assignee: LEICA GEOSYSTEMS AG
    Inventors: Bernhard Metzler, Harald Vennegeerts, Aldo Facchin

  • Point cloud assisted photogrammetric rendering method and apparatus
    Patent number: 9292922
    Abstract: A point cloud assisted photogrammetric restitution method is described. Said method comprises: the simultaneous visualization on a screen (5) of the ensemble of a stereoscopic image (33) and a point cloud (34) acquired on a given area (2), said stereoscopic image deriving from at least a couple of photogrammetric images (11) acquired on said given area (2) and oriented according to the same coordinate system of the point cloud, the real time connection of the collimation mark (S) of the stereoscopic image with the corresponding collimation mark (S?) of the point cloud.
