Ítem An efficient method for acquisition of spectral BRDFs in real-world scenarios(ELSEVIER, 2022-02) Jurado, Juan M.; Jiménez-Pérez, J. Roberto; Luís, Pádua; Feito, Francisco R.; Sousa, Joaquim J.Modelling of material appearance from reflectance measurements has become increasingly prevalent due to the development of novel methodologies in Computer Graphics. In the last few years, some advances have been made in measuring the light-material interactions, by employing goniometers/reflectometers under specific laboratory’s constraints. A wide range of applications benefit from data-driven appearance modelling techniques and material databases to create photorealistic scenarios and physically based simulations. However, important limitations arise from the current material scanning process, mostly related to the high diversity of existing materials in the real-world, the tedious process for material scanning and the spectral characterisation behaviour. Consequently, new approaches are required both for the automatic material acquisition process and for the generation of measured material databases. In this study, a novel approach for material appearance acquisition using hyperspectral data is proposed. A dense 3D point cloud filled with spectral data was generated from the images obtained by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) equipped with an RGB camera and a hyperspectral sensor. The observed hyperspectral signatures were used to recognise natural and artificial materials in the 3D point cloud according to spectral similarity. Then, a parametrisation of Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) was carried out by sampling the BRDF space for each material. Consequently, each material is characterised by multiple samples with different incoming and outgoing angles. Finally, an analysis of BRDF sample completeness is performed considering four sunlight positions and 16x16 resolution for each material. The results demonstrated the capability of the used technology and the effectiveness of our method to be used in applications such as spectral rendering and real-word material acquisition and classification.Ítem An Efficient Method for Generating UAV-Based Hyperspectral Mosaics Using Push-Broom Sensors(IEEE, 2021-06) Jurado, Juan M.; Pádua, Luís; Hruska, Jonas; Feito, Francisco R.; Sousa, Joaquim J.Hyperspectral sensors mounted in unmanned aerial vehicles offer new opportunities to explore high-resolution multitemporal spectral analysis in remote sensing applications. Nevertheless, the use of hyperspectral data still poses challenges mainly in postprocessing to correct from high geometric deformation of images. In general, the acquisition of high-quality hyperspectral imagery is achieved through a time-consuming and complex processing workflow. However, this effort is mandatory when using hyperspectral imagery in a multisensor data fusion perspective, such as with thermal infrared imagery or photogrammetric point clouds. Push-broom hyperspectral sensors provide high spectral resolution data, but its scanning acquisition architecture imposes more challenges to create geometrically accurate mosaics from multiple hyperspectral swaths. In this article, an efficient method is presented to correct geometrical distortions on hyperspectral swaths from push-broom sensors by aligning them with an RGB photogrammetric orthophoto mosaic. The proposed method is based on an iterative approach to align hyperspectral swaths with an RGB photogrammetric orthophoto mosaic. Using as input preprocessed hyperspectral swaths, apart from the need of introducing some control points, the workflow is fully automatic and consists of: adaptive swath subdivision into multiple fragments; detection of significant image features; estimation of valid matches between individual swaths and the RGB orthophoto mosaic; and calculation of the best geometric transformation model to the retrieved matches. As a result, geometrical distortions of hyperspectral swaths are corrected and an orthomosaic is generated. This methodology provides an expedite solution able to produce a hyperspectral mosaic with an accuracy ranging from two to five times the ground sampling distance of the high-resolution RGB orthophoto mosaic, enabling the hyperspectral data integration with data from other sensors for multiple applications.Ítem Remote sensing image fusion on 3D scenarios: A review of applications for agriculture and forestry(2022-08) Jurado, Juan M.; López, Alfonso; Pádua, Luís; Sousa, Joaquim J.Three-dimensional (3D) image mapping of real-world scenarios has a great potential to provide the user with a more accurate scene understanding. This will enable, among others, unsupervised automatic sampling of meaningful material classes from the target area for adaptive semi-supervised deep learning techniques. This path is already being taken by the recent and fast-developing research in computational fields, however, some issues related to computationally expensive processes in the integration of multi-source sensing data remain. Recent studies focused on Earth observation and characterization are enhanced by the proliferation of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) and sensors able to capture massive datasets with a high spatial resolution. In this scope, many approaches have been presented for 3D modeling, remote sensing, image processing and mapping, and multi-source data fusion. This survey aims to present a summary of previous work according to the most relevant contributions for the reconstruction and analysis of 3D models of real scenarios using multispectral, thermal and hyperspectral imagery. Surveyed applications are focused on agriculture and forestry since these fields concentrate most applications and are widely studied. Many challenges are currently being overcome by recent methods based on the reconstruction of multi-sensorial 3D scenarios. In parallel, the processing of large image datasets has recently been accelerated by General-Purpose Graphics Processing Unit (GPGPU) approaches that are also summarized in this work. Finally, as a conclusion, some open issues and future research directions are presented.
