Abstract:
The evaluation of smartphone camera technology for close-range photogrammetry includes assessing captured photos for 3D measurement. In this work, experiments are conducted on many smartphones to study distortion levels and accuracy performance in close-range photogrammetry applications. Analytical methods and specialized digital tools are employed to evaluate the results. OpenCV functions estimate the distortions introduced by the lens. Diagrams, evaluation images, statistical quantities, and indicators are utilized to compare the results among sensors. The accuracy achieved in photogrammetry is examined using the photogrammetric bundle adjustment in a real-world application. In the end, generalized conclusions are drawn regarding this technology's use in close-range photogrammetry applications.
