Orthomosaicking Thermal Drone Images of Forests via Simultaneously Acquired RGB Images

Operational forest monitoring often requires fine-detail information in the form of an orthomosaic, created by stitching overlapping nadir images captured by aerial platforms such as drones. RGB drone sensors are commonly used for low-cost, high-resolution imaging that is conducive to effective orth...
