ABSTRACT Photogrammetry is experiencing an era of democratization mostly due to the popularity and availability of many commercial off-the-shelf devices, such as drones and smartphones. They are used as the most convenient and effective tools for high-resolution image acquisition for a wide range of applications in science, engineering, management, and cultural heritage. However, the quality, particularly the geometric accuracy, of the outcomes from such consumer sensors is still unclear. Furthermore, the expected quality under different control schemes has yet to be thoroughly investigated. This paper intends to answer those questions with a comprehensive comparative evaluation. Photogrammetry, in particular, structure from motion, has been used to reconstruct a 3D building model from smartphone and consumer drone images, as well as from professional drone images, all under various ground control schemes. Results from this study show that the positioning accuracy of smartphone images under direct geo-referencing is 165.4 cm, however, this could be improved to 43.3 cm and 14.5 cm when introducing aerial lidar data and total station surveys as ground control, respectively. Similar results are found for consumer drone images as well. For comparison, this study shows the use of the professional drone is able to achieve a positioning accuracy of 3.7 cm. Furthermore, we demonstrate that through the combined use of drone and smartphone images we are able to obtain full coverage of the entire target with a 2.3 cm positioning accuracy. Our study concludes that smartphone images can achieve an accuracy equivalent to consumer drone images and can be used as the primary data source for building facade data collection.

ABSTRACT With the rapid development of reality capture methods, such as laser scanning and oblique photogrammetry, point cloud data have become the third most important data source, after vector maps and imagery. Point cloud data also play an increasingly important role in scientific research and engineering in the fields of Earth science, spatial cognition, and smart cities. However, how to acquire high-quality three-dimensional (3D) geospatial information from point clouds has become a scientific frontier, for which there is an urgent demand in the fields of surveying and mapping, as well as geoscience applications. To address the challenges mentioned above, point cloud intelligence came into being. This paper summarizes the state-of-the-art of point cloud intelligence, with regard to acquisition equipment, intelligent processing, scientific research, and engineering applications. For this purpose, we refer to a recent project on the hybrid georeferencing of images and LiDAR data for high-quality point cloud collection, as well as a current benchmark for the semantic segmentation of high-resolution 3D point clouds. These projects were conducted at the Institute for Photogrammetry, the University of Stuttgart, which was initially headed by the late Prof. Ackermann. Finally, the development prospects of point cloud intelligence are summarized.
