Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are becoming increasingly popular in professional
mapping for stockpile analysis, construction site monitoring, and many other applications.
Due to their robustness and competitive pricing, consumer UAVs are used more and more
for these applications, but they are usually equipped with rolling shutter cameras. This is a
significant obstacle when it comes to extracting high accuracy measurements using
available photogrammetry software packages. In this paper, we evaluate the impact of the …

Global climate change is one of the major challenges that all nations are commonly facing.
Long-term observations of the Antarctic ice sheet have been playing a critical role in
quantitatively estimating and predicting effects resulting from the global changes. The film-
based ARGON reconnaissance imagery provides a remarkable data source for studying the
Antarctic ice-sheet in 1960s, thus greatly extending the time period of Antarctica surface
observations. To deal with the low-quality images and the unavailability of camera poses, a …
