Indeterminacy of Camera Intrinsic Parameters in Structure from Motion Using Images from Constant-Pitch Flight Design by Truc Thanh Ho, Riku Sato, Ariyo Kanno, Tsuyoshi Imai, Koichi Yamamoto, Takaya Higuchi

“…Intrinsic parameter estimation by self-calibration is commonly used in Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based photogrammetry with Structure from Motion (SfM). However, obtaining stable estimates of these parameters from image-based SfM—which relies solely on images, without auxiliary data such as ground control points (GCPs)—remains challenging. …”
