Abstract

The three-dimensional photogrammetric analysis of image sequences is a growing field of application. For the analysis of dynamic processes one important precondition has to be guaranteed: The cameras of the acquisition network have to be exactly synchronized, otherwise the results of the object point calculation are affected by asynchronism. In order to obtain synchronous image sequences different methods can be applied. These methods can be divided into three major groups: methods which use hardware components, methods which acquire asynchronously image sequences, but use a hardware component to register the asynchronism and correct the measurements via software in a post-processing step, and methods which acquire asynchronous image sequences and use software algorithms to correct the image measurements within the analysis. In this article a new method is presented, which can be assigned to the third group. In contrast to already existing methods the new approach has no restrictions concerning the number and the set-up of the cameras in the acquisition network. Furthermore, both the temporal and spatial analysis step are carried out simultaneously and are not divided into two separated parts. Due to these facts, the accuracy of the object point determination from image sequences is significantly improved in contrast to procedures which neglect the asynchronism. We have implemented the suggested method and have run a number of experiments in the context of vehicle impact testing. These tests confirm the theoretical expectations of the new method. Sequences with a frame rate of 1000 Hz observing an object with a speed of up to 7 m/s and an asynchronism of -0.79 ms were analyzed. The accuracy of the object point calculation could be improved by factor of 10.
