Abstract

Public safety problems increase in recent years and bring a big challenge in the field of fast data acquisition for decision making. UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) system as an effective way to take images of the emergency scene is highly demanded in many public safety application fields, and the three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of the scene based on the captured images is also increasingly required. However, multi-lens camera system for taking titled images has not yet maturely applied to small UAVs. In this paper, a novel multi-lens camera system adapting for small UAVs is designed to capture the needed 3D reconstruction images. This system is also able to provide the possibility of transmitting the images to the ground station in real time for further consequent 3D reconstruction processing.
