In recent years, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) have become a means of civilization and universalization. The UAV image is gradually replacing aerospace remote sensing data and is widely used in many fields. The limitation that the orthophotos can only be taken from a vertical angle in the past has been broken nowadays by oblique photogrammetry which has wide application prospect in 3D modeling. Aiming to ensure three-no-image (i.e., no camera calibration parameters, no strip information (disordered), and no POS (Position and orientation System) information) in some oblique images, the paper proposes a method of automatic aerial triangulation and 3D reconstruction for the three-no-image. This method is based on the content-based image retrieval method and improved progressive SFM (Structure from Motion) method in computer vision. Firstly, the method retrieves similar images and establishes the network through extracted features. Secondly, the correspondence between the two images is enhanced by matching the images and the tie points are tracked. Thirdly, the 3D point cloud of image is obtained by bundle adjustment. The algorithm improves the accuracy and robustness of reconstruction and makes a great progress in large scale image retrieval and image matching. Finally, , the stability, reliability, and accuracy of the proposed method was tested and validated with three-test experiments by using large scale real oblique images over three test areas. The test-1 area has 1190 images, from the project construction to the final aerial triangulation calculation without control, the total time is 4.3 hours, and the error is 0.4 pixels. The test-2 has 3685 images and no POS is used in experiment. From the project construction to the final aerial triangulation calculation without control, it takes 8 hours and the error is within 0.32 pixels. The two experimental results verified the stability and applicability of the proposed algorithm. The test-3 area has 1346 images, after 5 hours processing, the error of the free network adjustment is within 0.42 pixels, 9 ground control points are used for check points, the error is within 0.16 m in plane and 0.18 m in elevation. The experimental results verified the accuracy and reliability of the proposed algorithm.
