Title: Calibration of cameras and scanners on UAV and mobile platforms

Abstract

Boresight and lever arm calibration of cameras and scanners on UAVs or mobile platforms is performed by optimizing the flight/travel path of the UAV/platform relative to control points or tie points. The flight/travel paths account for the potential bias of boresight angles, lever arm and times delays to produce an accurate estimation of the orientation of these cameras/scanners relative to the GNSS/INS coordinate system of the UAV/platform.
