Mission:

Image sequence analysis has been playing an important role in many close-range applications of computer vision, machine vision and robot vision and is also gaining interest in several fields of close-range and aerial photogrammetry as well as remote sensing.
Examples of the application of image sequence analysis in photogrammetry and remote sensing are 2D/3D object tracking, the analysis of dynamic processes, deformation measurements, monocular or stereoscopic mapping of the environment of a UAV or an autonomous robot, mobile mapping systems, biomedical motion analysis, and many others.

Sensor fusion and integration is of major importance as often information retrieved from vision systems is to be combined with data from other sensors like distance meters, odometers, inertial navigation systems or range images acquisition systems, but also plays an essential role in aerial triangulation, where INS and GPS are used as additional sources of data. The redundant information contained in the highly overlapping images as well as the integration of rather different types of sensors require a careful handling of redundant information and thorough error modeling.
