3D Reconstruction of Coastal Cliffs from Fixed-Wing and Multi-Rotor UAS: Impact of SfM-MVS Processing Parameters, Image Redundancy and Acquisition Geometry

Monitoring the dynamics of coastal cliffs is fundamental for the safety of communities, buildings, utilities, and infrastructures located near the coastline. Structure-from-Motion and Multi View Stereo (SfM-MVS) photogrammetry based on Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) is a flexible and cost-effective s...
