Cover Story: The research proposes a simple and cost-effective system for aerial 3D thermography of large complex structures as buildings using a single calibrated IR-VIS system. Starting from a datasets of infrared and visible images collected using unmanned aerial vehicles, it is possible to reconstruct 3D visible and thermal models. The joint use of 3D imaging and infrared thermography is a powerful tool in engineering and sciences, specifically of great interest in non-destructing testing and continuous monitoring. Applications range from structural and maintenance diagnostics of buildings (historical but also civil infrastuctures such as bridges), evaluation of energy efficiency, up to investigation of large archaeological sites.

No-Reference Quality Assessment of In-Capture Distorted Videos

  • Mirko Agarla,
  • Luigi Celona and
  • Raimondo Schettini

We introduce a no-reference method for the assessment of the quality of videos affected by in-capture distortions due to camera hardware and processing software. The proposed method encodes both quality attributes and semantic content of each video f...
