Résumé

We discuss the different challenges, pros and cons of the fairly new Structure for Motion (SfM) embarked on a vehicle (SfM-EV) technique for slope surveys along transportation network tracks using action cameras embarked on standard moving vehicles. This low-cost technique generates georeferenced and coloured 3D point clouds without using any ground control points. Four action cameras, two of which had an integrated GNSS chip, were used to collect a series of pictures of tracksides at a rate of two images per second each. The SfM-EV results were compared with the results of seven other 3D survey techniques to evaluate the precision and accuracy of this technique, demonstrating the ability of this simple setting to generate 3D scenes. Different platforms for the cameras were tested, such as a bike, car, train, funicular, helicopter and so on. The SfM-EV technique was also tested on several study sites to highlight its strengths and weaknesses and obtain data, such as the density of points, equations of errors, overlap ratios and image resolution. The precision of the SfM-EV results was sufficient for detecting topographical changes close to the track for a volume of 1 dm 3 and the absolute positioning obtained with a low sky obstruction was approximately 5 m. The precision of SfM-EV was of a similar order to the other techniques, with an order of magnitude of a few centimetres. This approach possesses a low price-result quality ratio and is very simple to use. The possibility of using any type of vehicle for surveying is an advantage, especially for transportation track embankments.
