The inventors -- Huei-Hung "Chris" Liao and Yuping Lin -- are able to provide a smoother and more realistic 3D reconstruction than similar methods based on aerial photography. Applications include navigation, surveillance camera positioning, urban planning and more. This film is part of the USC Annenberg Graduate Fellowship Program's second annual Research and Creative Project Symposium, held April 29, 2010, which features multimedia presentations by Annenberg Fellows at the University of Southern California.
