| 190 | '''Week 6:''' |
| 191 | |
| 192 | WHAT I GET DONE THIS WEEK: |
| 193 | |
| 194 | Generally speaking, I've done some tests in order to find a better solution for the quasi-epipolar image generation. |
| 195 | |
| 196 | I have solved the issue I had with automatic TPs collection and orthorectification on particular morphologically relevant imagery I am testing. |
| 197 | |
| 198 | I have continued to improve the Semi Global Matching procedure implemented, such in a way that it could be used for any kind of images; for this reason I have used a stereo pair with a relevant mountain morphology in which it is achieved an height difference bigger than 1500 m. As expected, it results that a simple shift it is not sufficient to achieve an epipolar geometry and, following the paper by Wang et al. about epipolar resampling, I am implementing the transformation necessary for bring the projected images (actually on a constant ellipsoidical height) in the epipolar geometry. |
| 199 | |
| 200 | I have solved some little issues related to SGM implementation (Disparity Map visualization and shift refinement) and I have improved the Disparity Map resulting from the same GeoEye stereo pair used for the first tests (see attached). |

| 205 | WHAT I PLAN ON DOING NEXT WEEK: |
| 206 | |
| 207 | To solve the problem on which I am stuck. |
| 208 | |
| 209 | To continue working on epipolar images generation and to integrate the developed code in an ossim app. |
| 210 | |
| 211 | To test and control implementation efficacy ā discuss results with mentors. |
| 212 | |

| 214 | SOMETHING ON WHICH I AM BLOCKED: |
| 215 | |
| 216 | Iām having some difficulties in finding the correct image transformation for epipolar generation. I have seen that using the affine transformation (estimated with the opencv api) the disparity between the objects is not well preserved. Actually, I think that I found a possible solution estimating a roto-translation without scale. |
