This work investigates the process of automating reconstruction of buildings from video imagery. New metrics were developed to detect the least blurred images in a sequence for further processing. Phase correlation for point matching was investigated and new metrics were developed to identify successful matches. Direct relative orientation algorithms were investigated in-depth. A significant finding was a new 6-point algorithm which outperformed previously published algorithms for a number of calibrated camera and target geometries. The development of the new metrics and the outcomes from the comprehensive investigations conducted have contributed to a better understanding of the challenging problem of automatically reconstructing 3D objects from image sequences.
