Structure from Motion (SfM) photogrammetry is based on the use of algorithms allowing the automatically identification of a large amount of homologous points (or pixels) between images overlapping areas. The coordinates of the homologous points (provided in different reference systems for each acquisition), allow the images alignment meaning the internal and external camera calibration. The number and the distribution of homologous points drives the entire procedure of photogrammetric restitution. In some cases, due to a fatal combination of acquisition strategy, digital cameras and software, anomalies could occur causing systematic effects in the point clouds representing the observed surfaces. This paper shows the results obtained from SfM surveys carried out as part of a project for...
