Outline of Final Research Achievements

This paper examines the barrier information in tourism area by using structure from motion - multi-view stereo (SfM). We have to provide suitable information relating to various kinds of facilities or to a destination for tourist, particularly pedestrians or the like having chances to have difficulty in moving like elderly persons or persons with disabilities. Accordingly, we tried to detect barrier information from high resolution pictures and positional information by Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). The analysis revealed the following: the possibilities of barrier information by using SfM and GNSS, anyone may use those systems even without professional knowledge and high cost, and survey precision enhance rapidly-advancing.
