  • GPU-based rectification of high-resolution remote sensing stereo images [Elektronski vir]
    Lukač, Niko ; Žalik, Borut
    One of the major challenges in the topographic mapping and fast generation of digital terrain or surface models from stereo optical aerial or satellite imagery is the stereo rectification ... preprocessing step. The general case is the use of extrinsic and intrinsic parameters from each calibrated camera, in order to establish epipolar geometry. Stereo rectification consists of geometric transformation and image sub-pixel resampling. Such a task is computationally demanding when dealing with high-resolution optical imagery. This presents an increasingly evident problem as the remote sensing technologies are becoming more accurate, causing even higher computational demands. This paper proposes a novel method for fast rectification of stereo images pairs to epipolar geometry by using General Purpose computing on Graphics Processing Units (GPGPU). The method is capable of resampling large high-resolution imagery on-the-fly, due to efficient out-of-core processing. In the experiments a runtime comparison was made between the proposed GPU-based and multi-core CPU methods over a dataset consisting of 420 stereo aerial images, where the proposed method achieved a significant speedup.
