Abstract
Unmanned aerial systems (UASs), also known as drones, have recently been applied in various domains of natural sciences and engineering. Most of these applications require geospatial information about the environment. Consequently, 3D mapping via UASs has become a matter of growing interest among both researchers and industries. Solutions developed for this purpose are usually equipped with various types of cameras and, more recently, with laser scanners as well. The focus of this chapter is on camera-based systems. The final output from these systems is often in the form of orthorectified mosaics, digital ...
