The two churches, San Francesco and Sant'Agostino in Amatrice, Italy was hit by an earthquake on August 24 2016. Both churches are in a state of partial collapse, in need of shoring to prevent potential further destruction and to preserve the national heritage. The video show the mission at 1.Sept.2016 in clips of 10 seconds. The TRADR project was asked by the Italian firebrigade Vigili del Fuoco to provide 3D textured models of two churches. The team entered San Francesco with two UGVs (ground robots) and one UAV (drone, flown by Prof. Surmann), teleoperating them entirely out of line of sight and partially in collaboration. We entered Sant'Agostino with one UAV (also flown by Prof. Surmann) while two other UAVs were providing a view from different angles to facilitate maneuvering them entirely out of line of sight.

Modelled with VisualSfM and CMPMVS from a drone flight video.

The video shows a snapshot of a 16 minute flight of a DJI Phantom 3 professional over the Schloss Birlinghoven at Sankt Augustin, Germany. The castle is located at the Fraunhofer Campus at Sankt Augustin. The 3D model is generated out of 400 key frames of the 4k video which are cut out with ffmpeg. The work is part of an evaluation in the Tradr Project (www.tradr-project.eu)

This video shows a model computed from 124 images taken at the Tjex 2015 of the trade project (www.tradr-project.eu). The images were acquired by walking around the object and reconstruct the structure with VisualSfm software.
