A COMPARISON OF SMART PHONE CAMERA CALIBRATION APPROACHES USING THE DIGITAL CLOSE-RANGE PHOTOGRAMMETRY TECHNIQUE

Abstract

With the rapid development in the resolution of mobile phone cameras and low cost of this mobile phone camera, it is important to determine the possibility of using it in digital close range photogrammetry. The main objective of this research is to evaluate the accuracy of mobile phone camera and comparison with the accuracy of high resolution camera in digital close range photogrammetry. Experimental test has been carried out to study the effect of using the mobile phone cameras on the accuracy instead of high resolution camera. The different three mobile phone cameras and high resolution camera have been used for data acquisition of a test field. The results of the accuracy for different cases are given. The obtained results showed the possibility of using the mobile phone cameras in digital close range photogrammetry application.
