ASRix - Digital Image Rectifier v2.beta
A S R i x - Digital Image Rectifier
What is a rectifier?
A rectifier starts with a photographic image of an object then, based on
measurements which define a plane on this object, adjusts the image to
conform to the measurements in such a way that features on that plane can be
accurately scaled.
Benefits of Rectification
- Fast recording of an object, just photographs and a few measurements
- Detailed measurements can be obtained from the rectified image
- Elevations, streetscapes and photo mosaics can be created easily.
What is ASRix?
ASRix takes the basic rectifier functionality a step further by adding:
- The ability to use 3D coordinate systems as well as the conventional 2D
- Direct reading of database files and compatibility with the data output of modern survey equipment.
- An interface with AutoCAD (R14 & above) allowing the creation of 3D photo mosaics
- Camera Calibration to correct the distortion of even the shortest focal length lenses.
Input Requirements
- Digital image (scanned or CCD) in BMP, TIFF or JPEG formats
- A minimum of 4 measurements (either 2D or 3D) on each plane to be processed
From this it produces a
Rectified Digital Image
that can be plotted to scale, inserted into an AutoCAD drawing or passed to any image
processor for annotation.
Benefits of ASRix
- Fast recording of an object, just photographs and a few measurements
- Detailed measurements can be obtained from the rectified image
- Integrated Camera Calibration
- Direct integration with survey instrument downloads
- Reliability of each point can be displayed
The latest HELP on-line
Beware: this is all Beta stuff.
There
ARE
bugs in it and the help reflects no existing release. Furthermore I can't promise much
support as the executables are changing daily. But a lot of it works and may be useful
to someone. If it is I'd like your feedback as we inch our way towards a release.
