The traditional oblique cameras cannot self-calibrate to complete the three-dimensional (3D) modeling to meet high mapping accuracy requirements. We propose an oblique combined camera system, called a texture camera, aboard an unmanned airship that can simultaneously obtain a single vertical image and four oblique images of an object. The images acquired by this self-calibrating camera system can be used to produce traditional products on a large scale.

Aiming at the drawback of the traditional TR method, an improved method named the nonmonotonic and self-adaptive trust region (NSTR) method is proposed in this paper, in which three kinds of modified techniques are shown that help in improving the computational precision and convergence speed of the algorithm. The comparisons with image reconstruction are carried out between the NSTR, Levenberd-Marquardt (LM) and TR methods.
