Automation of interior, relative, and absolute orientation

Considerable progress has been achieved in the automation of image orientation for photogrammetry and remote sensing over the last few years. Today, autonomous software modules for interior and relative orientation are commercially available in digital photogrammetric workstations (DPWS), and so is automatic aerial triangulation. The absolute orientation has been successfully automated for a number of applications. In this paper recent developments and the state of the art in automatic image orientation are presented.
