Abstract

All photogrammetric applications need good camera parameters for mapping purpose, such as an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) that encompassed with camera devices. Simple camera calibration is commonly used in many experiments in order to obtain the camera parameter’s value. In aerial mapping, interior camera parameters value of close-range camera calibration is used to correct the image error. However, the changes of the interior calibration parameters used need to be considered at different heights of mapping. Therefore, this research aims to contribute by analyzing of camera parameters’ changes from three heights using calibration field, and one camera calibration in the laboratory as commonly used. Camera distance heights of 15 metre, 25 metre, 55 metre, and 1.4 metre camera distance in the laboratory. The results show the changes in camera parameter’s value. Hence, value of camera calibration parameters of a camera is considered different and can change depend on the distance (height) of calibration.
