En karta är en färskvara som är i ständigt behov av ajourhållning. Ajourhållning görs normalt med traditionella metoder: fotogrammetriska och/eller geodetiska. Men i och med att utvecklingen går framåt har intresset för en ny metod, UAS (Unmanned Aerial Systems), ökat. UAS är en relativt ny fotogrammetrisk metod där obemannade flygfarkoster används. Detta examensarbete har utvärderat vilken osäkerhet vanligt förekommande detaljer i en karta kan få i framställda "produkter" som genererats med hjälp av UAS-bilder som georefererats med naturliga stödpunkter. Produkterna som framställdes var en digital ytmodell och ett ortofoto och togs fram i datorprogrammet Agisoft Photoscan. Bilderna som bearbetades i denna studie erhölls från Swecos UAS-flygning och var tagna över deponiområdet Fågelmyra i Ornäs, Dalarnas län. I den digitala ytmodellen och i ortofotot mättes detaljer in för att sedan kontrolleras mot kontrollpunkter inmätta med nätverks-RTK (Real-Time Kinematic). Studien visade att detaljer inmätta i den digitala ytmodellen och ortofotot resulterade i en osäkerhet på 0,28 m respektive 0,08 m i plan. Varför osäkerheterna skiljer sig mellan den digitala ytmodellen och ortofotot kan ha att göra med att det är svårt att identifiera objekt i den digitala ytmodellen. Utifrån denna studie kan det konstateras att UAS och georeferering med naturliga stödpunkter lämpar sig för kartering av mindre områden. Dessutom kan det konstateras att UAS är effektiv och relativt enkel teknik. / A map is in constant need of being updated. Map updating is normally performed with traditional methods such as photogrammetric and/or geodetic. But by technical development the interest in new methods has increased, like in UAS (Unmanned Aerial Systems). UAS is a relatively new photogrammetric method using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). The purpose of this study is to evaluate what uncertainty common details in a map can get in "products" generated from UAS images georeferenced with natural ground control points. The products that were generated was a digital surface model and an orthophoto and was produced in the software Agisoft Photoscan. The images that were processed in this study were obtained from Sweco’s UAS flight and taken over landfill area Fågelmyra in Ornäs, Dalarna county. In the digital surface model and the orthophoto details were measured and controlled against check points surveyed with Network RTK (Real-Time Kinematic). The study has shown that the surveyed details in the digital surface model and ortohophoto resulted in a planimetric uncertainty of 0.28 m and 0.08 m, respectively. The reason for why the uncertainties for the digital surface model and orthophoto are different may be that it is difficult to identify objects in the digital surface model. Based on this study it can be concluded that UAS and georeferencing with natural ground control points is suitable for mapping of smaller areas. In addition, it can be concluded that UAS is efficient and relatively easy technique.

Att tidigt kunna detektera samt åtgärda sättningar och deformationer är viktigt inom exempelvis bygg-, anläggnings- och gruvindustrin för att kontrollera att verksamheten inte påverkar närliggande områden och strukturer. UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) fotogrammetri är en lämplig metod för att utföra upprepade mätningar i svårtillgänglig miljö där sättningar kan uppkomma. Syftet med denna studie har varit att undersöka möjligheten till att detektera sättningar med UAV fotogrammetri samt att jämföra direkt och indirekt georeferering. Detta har undersökts genom att ett antal objekt har använts till att simulera sättningar med förändringar på centimeternivå. Området som studien utfördes på flögs över med en fotogrammetrisk UAV i två epoker varav den första epoken var innan sättning och den andra epoken var efter en simulerad sättning av objekten. Punkter markerades på objekten vilka mättes in med totalstation för båda epokerna och dessa mätningar användes som referensvärden (hädanefter kallat True Value). Bearbetning skedde därefter i två programvaror: Agisoft Metashape och Leica Infinity. I Metashape skapades punktmoln för båda epokerna indirekt georefererade med markstödpunkter. I Infinity skapades punktmoln för båda epokerna direkt georefererade med Nätverks-RTK (N-RTK). Punktmolnens avvikelser mot kontrollpunkter kontrollerades. Koordinater för markeringarna på objekten extraherades och jämfördes med koordinater inmätta med totalstation. Resultatet av bearbetningen blev fyra olika punktmoln. I de indirekt georefererade punktmolnen var det möjligt att detektera deformeringar på centimeternivå. Det var däremot inte möjligt i de direkt georefererade punktmolnen då de var påverkade av ett systematiskt fel i höjd. De två programvarornas arbetsgång och resultat jämfördes även mot varandra och där kan det konstateras att om de två programvarorna båda har höga systemkrav så var Leica Infinity betydligt mer krävande både vad gäller hårdvara och tidsåtgång än Agisoft Metashape. De slutsatser vi kan dra utifrån denna studie är att N-RTK ännu inte är en tillräckligt bra georefereringsmetod när låga osäkerheter efterfrågas. I detta fall är indirekt georeferering eller registrering av punktmolnen med hjälp av ICP (Iterative Closest Point) algoritmer att föredra. Det är också viktigt att generera punktmoln med en så hög punkttäthet som möjligt för att kunna göra noggranna mätningar i molnen. / The early detection and measure of subsidence and deformations is important within construction-, civil engineering and the mining industry to control whether the operations affect nearby areas and structures. UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) photogrammetry is a suitable method to conduct repeated measurements in environments which is hard to access where subsidence can occur. The purpose of this study has been to investigate the possibility of detecting subsidence with UAV photogrammetry and compare direct and indirect georeferencing. This has been investigated by using several objects to simulate subsidence at centimeter level. The area where the study was conducted was flown over with a photogrammetric UAV in two epochs of which the first epoch was before subsidence and the second epoch was after a simulated subsidence of the objects. Points was marked on the objects who were measured with a total station for both epochs and these measurements was used as reference values (hereafter called True Value). Processing was thereafter done in two different software: Agisoft Metashape and Leica Infinity. In Metashape point clouds was created for both epochs indirectly georeferenced with ground control points. In Infinity point clouds was created for both epochs directly georeferenced with Network-RTK (N-RTK). The deviations of the point clouds towards checkpoints were verified. Coordinates of the markings on the objects was extracted and compared against coordinates measured with total station. The photogrammetric processing resulted in four different point clouds. In the indirectly georeferenced pointclouds it was possible to detect deformations at centimeterlevel. This was however not possible using the directly georeferenced pointclouds as they were affected by a systematic error in heigth. The workflow and the resulting point clouds from the two different software was also compared to each other and by that it was established that even though they both have high system requirements the Leica Infinity software was much more demanding and additionally time consuming. The conclusion from this study is that N-RTK is not yet a satisfactory method for georeferencing when low uncertainties are required. In this case, indirect georeferencing or registration of the point clouds with ICP (Iterative Closest Point) algorithms is to be preferred. It is also important to create point clouds with the highest density possible to be able to make exact measurements.

Cette thèse se concentre sur le sujet de la calibration de la camera interne et, en particulier, sur les aspects de haute précision. On suit et examine deux fils principaux: la correction d'une aberration chromatique de lentille et l'estimation des paramètres intrinsèques de la caméra. Pour la problème de l'aberration chromatique, on suit un chemin de post-traitement numérique de l'image, afin de se débarrasser des artefacts de couleur provoqués par le phénomène de dispersion du système d'objectif de la caméra, ce qui produit une désalignement perceptible des canaux couleur. Dans ce contexte, l'idée principale est de trouver un modèle de correction plus général pour réaligner les canaux de couleur que ce qui est couramment utilisé - différentes variantes du polynôme radial. Celui-ci ne peut pas être suffisamment général pour assurer la correction précise pour tous les types de caméras. En combinaison avec une détection précise des points clés, la correction la plus précise de l'aberration chromatique est obtenue en utilisant un modèle polynomial qui est capable de capter la nature physique du décalage des canaux couleur. Notre détection de points clés donne une précision allant jusqu'à 0,05 pixels, et nos expériences montrent sa grande résistance au bruit et au flou. Notre méthode de correction de l’aberration, par opposition aux logiciels existants, montre une géométrique résiduelle inférieure à 0,1 pixels, ce qui est la limite de la perception de la vision humaine. En ce qui concerne l'estimation des paramètres intrinsèques de la caméra, la question est de savoir comment éviter la compensation d'erreur résiduelle qui est inhérent aux méthodes globales d'étalonnage, dont le principe fondamental consiste à estimer tous les paramètres de la caméra ensemble - l'ajustement de faisceaux. Détacher les estimations de la distorsion de la caméra et des paramètres intrinsèques devient possible lorsque la distorsion est compensée séparément. Cela peut se faire au moyen de la harpe d'étalonnage, récemment développée, qui calcule le champ de distorsion en utilisant la mesure de la rectitude de cordes tendues dans différentes orientations. Une autre difficulté, étant donnée une image déjà corrigée de la distorsion, est de savoir comment éliminer un biais perspectif. Ce biais dû à la perspective est présent quand on utilise les centres de cibles circulaires comme points clés, et il s'amplifie avec l'augmentation de l'angle de vue. Afin d'éviter la modélisation de chaque cercle par une fonction conique, nous intégrons plutôt fonction de transformation affine conique dans la procédure de minimisation pour l'estimation de l'homographie. Nos expériences montrent que l'élimination séparée de la distorsion et la correction du biais perspectif sont efficaces et plus stables pour l'estimation des paramètres intrinsèques de la caméra que la méthode d'étalonnage globale / This dissertation focuses on internal camera calibration and, especially, on its high-precision aspects. Two main threads are followed and examined: lens chromatic aberration correction and estimation of camera intrinsic parameters. For the chromatic aberration problem, we follow a path of digital post-processing of the image in order to get rid from the color artefacts caused by dispersion phenomena of the camera lens system, leading to a noticeable color channels misalignment. In this context, the main idea is to search for a more general correction model to realign color channels than what is commonly used - different variations of radial polynomial. The latter may not be general enough to ensure stable correction for all types of cameras. Combined with an accurate detection of pattern keypoints, the most precise chromatic aberration correction is achieved by using a polynomial model, which is able to capture physical nature of color channels misalignment. Our keypoint detection yields an accuracy up to 0.05 pixels, and our experiments show its high resistance to noise and blur. Our aberration correction method, as opposed to existing software, demonstrates a final geometrical residual of less than 0.1 pixels, which is at the limit of perception by human vision. When referring to camera intrinsics calculation, the question is how to avoid residual error compensation which is inherent for global calibration methods, the main principle of which is to estimate all camera parameters simultaneously - the bundle adjustment. Detachment of the lens distortion from camera intrinsics becomes possible when the former is compensated separately, in advance. This can be done by means of the recently developed calibration harp, which captures distortion field by using the straightness measure of tightened strings in different orientations. Another difficulty, given a distortion-compensated calibration image, is how to eliminate a perspective bias. The perspective bias occurs when using centers of circular targets as keypoints, and it gets more amplified with increase of view angle. In order to avoid modelling each circle by a conic function, we rather incorporate conic affine transformation function into the minimization procedure for homography estimation. Our experiments show that separate elimination of distortion and perspective bias is effective and more stable for camera's intrinsics estimation than global calibration method

Therefore, the hygienic and sanitary quality is essential in the production of safe food. This study aimed to evaluate the processing and hygienic and sanitary conditions of fruits and fruit pulps in quilombola community. The survey was conducted in the Community of the Remnant of Quilombo do Pombal, Goiás, Brazil. To evaluate the physical and functional conditions was applied a checklist before and after the implementation of structural adjustments, training and implementation of the Manual of Good Practices and Standard Operating Procedures. Data were categorized according to the percentage of adequacy. Microbiological analyzes of 32 samples were taken including, fruits of Cerrado found in the community and fruits and their pulps in different steps of the flowchart production. The hazards and critical control points were listed in the production flow chart. The physical and functional diagnostic performed indicated average compliance of blocks of 30.18%, being classified in Group 3, unsatisfactory. After interventions, there was 62.13% of compliance, with classification in Group 2, regular (p <0.05). The intervention effect was significant (p <0.05) for five of the seven blocks evaluated. Microbiological analysis indicated that all the native fruits collected are in accordance with the recommendations of the current health legislation. Fruits and pulps included into processing flowchart presented in accordance with sanitary standards for fecal coliform count and detection of Salmonella spp, however, the mold count and yeast in eight pulps analyzed indicated that five of them had counts above the established by legislation. The results suggest fruit contamination since the harvest and multiplication of such micro-organisms in the remaining stages. The washing and filling steps were able to reduce the load of molds and yeasts. It is understood that the physical and functional adaptations implemented were important to increase the percentage of adequacy of the items, however, the persistence of shortcomings in the work process may compromise the quality of the final product, stressing the need for compliance with good practices. / O processamento de polpas constitui uma possibilidade para utilização de frutos por povos tradicionais como os quilombolas, inseridos em um contexto no qual frutos nativos são pouco consumidos. Para tanto, a qualidade higienicossanitária é fundamental na produção de um alimento seguro. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o processamento e as condições higienicossanitárias de frutos e polpas de frutas em comunidade quilombola. A pesquisa foi realizada na Comunidade dos Remanescentes do Quilombo do Pombal, Goiás, Brasil. Para avaliação das condições físico-funcionais foi aplicada lista de verificação antes e após a realização de adequações estruturais, capacitações e implementação do Manual de Boas Práticas e Procedimentos Operacionais Padronizados. Os dados foram categorizados de acordo com o percentual de adequação. Foram realizadas análises microbiológicas de 32 amostras incluindo, frutos do Cerrado encontrados na comunidade e frutos e suas polpas em diferentes etapas do fluxograma. Foram elencados os perigos e Pontos Críticos de Controle no fluxograma de produção. O diagnóstico físico-funcional realizado indicou média de conformidade dos blocos de 30,18%, sendo classificado no Grupo 3, insatisfatório. Após intervenções, verificou-se 62,13% de conformidade, com classificação no Grupo 2, regular (p<0.05). O efeito da intervenção foi significativo (p<0,05) para cincos dos sete blocos avaliados. A análise microbiológica indicou que todos os frutos nativos coletados estão em conformidade com as recomendações da legislação sanitária vigente. Os frutos e polpas inseridos no fluxograma de processamento apresentaram-se de acordo aos padrões sanitários para contagem de coliformes termotolerantes e pesquisa de Salmonella spp, porém, a contagem de bolores e leveduras em oito polpas analisadas, indicou que cinco apresentaram contagem acima do estabelecido pela legislação. Os resultados sugerem contaminação do fruto já na colheita e a multiplicação destes micro-organismos nas demais etapas, sendo que as etapas de lavagem e envase foram capazes de reduzir a carga de bolores e leveduras. Entende-se que as adequações físico-funcionais implementadas foram importantes para o aumento do percentual de adequação dos itens, contudo, a persistência de falhas no processo de trabalho pode comprometer a qualidade do produto final, ressaltando a necessidade de adequação às boas práticas.

In addition, we evaluated the need to use or not to field control points for the generation of Digital Surface Model (DSM) and ortomosaico as tools to evaluate the erosive process. Despite the wide variation in attitude of aerial photographs that make up the aerophotogrammetric block arising from the instability of the UAV, it was possible to generate the MDS and ortomosaico with or without control points. This research was conducted in two urban erosions located in Goiania in Sector Fonte Nova in the stream of grass and the other in Silvânia called foot-washing. Whole generation of MDS, Digital Surface Model (MDT) and ortomosaico were performed in Agisoft PhotoScan program in semi-automatic processing, if used control points, or automatic without control points. The ortomosaicos generated without control points presented rotation, translation and scale of different generated with support. In addition, MDS generated without control points showed elevation or lowering of the reference surface with respect to the generated control, it is emphasized that these discrepancies are not constant. When performing automatic conversion of MDS to MDT, it was realized that the program was not able to eliminate the shrub vegetation located within the erosion. The vegetation or tree, shrub or undergrowth (grass) prevents proper limitation of erosion to the volume calculation. But unlike the MDS generated between two distinct epochs identifies the changes in the interval of time in areas without vegetation. The use of control points was essential to ensure the orientation, scale and the reference plane in the products generated from aerial photographs and thus evaluate the changes. Anyway, the UAV can be used as a platform for taking aerial photographs for generating cartographic products that enable the mapping and evaluation of erosions. / Esta pesquisa teve por objetivo avaliar a utilização do Veículo Aéreo Não Tripulado (VANT) como plataforma para a tomada de fotografias aéreas para o mapeamento planialtimétrico de erosão situada em zona urbana. Além disso, analisou-se a necessidade de utilização ou não de pontos de controle de campo para a geração de Modelo Digital de Superfície (MDS) e ortomosaico como instrumentos para examinar o processo erosivo. Apesar da grande variação da atitude da aeronave durante a obtenção das fotografias aéreas que compõem o bloco aerofotogramétrico, foi possível gerar o MDS e o ortomosaico com ou sem pontos de controle. Este estudo foi realizado em duas erosões urbanas, uma situada em Goiânia-GO, no Setor Fonte Nova/Córrego do Capim, e a outra em Silvânia-GO, denominada de Lava-Pés. Toda a geração dos MDS, Modelo Digital de Terreno (MDT) e ortomosaico foram realizados no programa Agisoft PhotoScan, em processamento semiautomático (i.e., com pontos de controle) e automático (i.e., sem pontos de controle). Os ortomosaicos gerados sem pontos de controle apresentaram rotação, translação e escala diferente dos gerados com apoio. Ademais, os MDS gerados sem pontos de controle apresentaram elevação ou rebaixamento da superfície de referência em relação aos gerados com controle. Ressalta-se, ainda, que essas discrepâncias não foram constantes. Ao realizar a conversão automática do MDS para o MDT, percebeu-se que o programa não foi capaz de eliminar a vegetação arbustiva localizada no interior da erosão. As vegetações arbórea, arbustiva ou rasteira (gramíneas) impedem a correta delimitação da erosão para o cálculo do volume. Porém, a diferença dos MDS gerados entre duas épocas distintas propicia identificar as alterações ocorridas nesse intervalo de tempo nas regiões sem cobertura vegetal. O uso de pontos de controle foi essencial para garantir a orientação, a escala e o plano de referência nos produtos gerados a partir das fotografias aéreas e, assim, avaliar as modificações da erosão. Por fim, o VANT pode ser utilizado como plataforma para a tomada de fotografias aéreas para gerar produtos cartográficos que possibilitem o mapeamento e as avaliações das erosões, sobretudo em áreas urbanas.

Metrogaining is an urban outdoor navigational sport that uses a street map to which scored control points have been added. The objective is to collect maximum score points within a set time by visiting a subset of the scored control points. There is currently no metrogaining scoring standard, only guidelines on how to allocate scores. Accordingly, scoring approaches were explored to create new score sets by using scoring algorithms based on a simple relationship between the score of, and the number of visits to a control point. A spread model, which was developed to evaluate the score sets, generated a range of routes by solving a range of orienteering problems, which belongs to the class of NP-hard combinatorial optimisation problems. From these generated routes, the control point visit frequencies of each control point were determined. Using the visit frequencies, test statistics were subsequently adapted to test the goodness of scoring for each score set. The ndings indicate that the score-visits relationship is not a simple one, as the number of visits to a control point is not only dependent on its score, but also on the scores of the surrounding control points. As a result, the scoring algorithms explored were unable to cope with the complex scoring process uncovered. / Decision Sciences / M. Sc. (Operations Research)
