Abstract
When building or improving a petrochemical plant, drawings are used extensively
in the design process. However, existing petrochemical plants seldom
match their drawings, or the drawings are lost, forcing the need to generate
a 3D model of the structure of the plant. In this thesis photogrammetry is investigated
as a method of generating a digital 3D model of an existing plant.
Camera modeling, target extraction and 3D reconstruction are discussed in
detail, and a real-world system is investigated.
