Active Image-based Modeling with a Toy Drone
Image-based modeling techniques can now generate photo-realistic 3D models
from images. But it is up to users to provide high quality images with good
coverage and view overlap, which makes the data capturing process tedious and
time consuming. We seek to automate data capturing for image-based modeling.
The core of our system is an iterative linear method to solve the multi-view
stereo (MVS) problem quickly and plan the Next-Best-View (NBV) effectively. Our
fast MVS algorithm enables online model reconstruction and quality assessment
to determine the NBVs on the fly. We test our system with a toy unmanned aerial
vehicle (UAV) in simulated, indoor and outdoor experiments. Results show that
our system improves the efficiency of data acquisition and ensures the
completeness of the final model.Comment: To be published on International Conference on Robotics and

Birds of the Thule District, Northwest Greenland
The avifauna of the Thule district was studied during three breeding season visits in 1983-85. The results are presented here, supplemented by data from four late summer expeditions made in 1983-86 by M. Lea, A. Erskine and W. Higgs. Counting the two redpolls as one, 47 species have been recorded from the Thule district, 17 of them seabirds, 10 shorebirds and 7 waterfowl. There are at least 21 species with established breeding populations. Status changes are demonstrated for three species, and three Nearctic species are recorded here for the Thule district for the first time.Key words: birds, ornithology, Greenland, Thule districtMots clés: oiseaux, ornithologie, Groenland, district de Thulé
