The usage of Remotely Piloted Aircrafts (RPAs) in environmental studies increased over the past years due to the possibility of performing low-cost aerial image acquisition. However, these studies often need to extract ...

A Monte Carlo procedure is presented for computing the joint state-of-knowledge probability distribution to be assigned to the parameters of a calibration function. The procedure is fully in line with the approach in ...

The assessment of the measurement uncertainty is an indispensable task in all calibration procedures. By international accord, the evaluation is to be done in accordance with the ISO Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty ...

In traffic engineering, the assessment of capacity in basic segment of freeway is a critical factor for planning, design and operational analysis of the freeway facilities. Thereby, the Highway Capacity Manual - HCM is the ...

This paper presents an uncertainty analysis of a Positional Error Calibrator based on a laser interferometer system. This laser calibration system is capable of evaluating the positioning accuracy of a numerically controlled ...

In structured-light systems, the lens distortions of the camera and the projector reduce the measurement accuracy when calibrated as a standard stereo-vision system. The conventional compensation via distortion coefficients ...
