【Abstract】 Determining exterior orientation parameters of image is an important task in photogrammetiy, and various classic methods are in use. On consideration of some shortcomings in classic methods, a new, quaternion-based, closed-form solution is presented here. The concept of quaternion and its operation rules were introduced first, then formulae for space resection based on unit quaternion were deduced. The new method uses unit quaternion to represent rotation. Based on the least square principle, the closed-form solution to unit quaternion is solved out first. Then the rotation matrix is obtained, and angular elements are derived. lastly coordinates of projective centre is computed. The main advantages of the method are that initial values of exterior orientation parameters need not to be provided, and linearization for the collinearity equations is not involved in formula deduction, so iterative computing of exterior orientation parameters is avoided. The numerical experiments are done and results show the correctness and reliability of the method.更多还原
