The sensor arrays need to be coupled to an accurate positioning system, like a geodetic-grade Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) device. However, in urban areas this approach is not always feasible because GNSS accuracy can be substantially degraded due to the presence of buildings, trees, tunnels, etc. In this work, a photogrammetric (vision-based) method for GPR georeferencing is presented. The method can be summarized in three main steps: tie point extraction from the images acquired during the survey, computation of approximate camera extrinsic parameters and finally a refinement of the parameter estimation using a rigorous implementation of the collinearity equations. A test under operational conditions is described, where accuracy of a few centimeters has been achieved. The results demonstrate that the solution was robust enough for recovering vehicle trajectories even in critical situations, such as poorly textured framed surfaces, short baselines, and low intersection angles.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s16010132","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,1,22]],"date-time":"2016-01-22T11:36:13Z","timestamp":1453462573000},"page":"132","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Vision-Based Georeferencing of GPR in Urban Areas"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Riccardo","family":"Barzaghi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (DICA)-Geodesy and Geomatics Section, Politecnico di Milano, Piazza Leonardo da Vinci 32, Milan 20133, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8949-7652","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Noemi","family":"Cazzaniga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (DICA)-Geodesy and Geomatics Section, Politecnico di Milano, Piazza Leonardo da Vinci 32, Milan 20133, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Diana","family":"Pagliari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (DICA)-Geodesy and Geomatics Section, Politecnico di Milano, Piazza Leonardo da Vinci 32, Milan 20133, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9559-4387","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Livio","family":"Pinto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (DICA)-Geodesy and Geomatics Section, Politecnico di Milano, Piazza Leonardo da Vinci 32, Milan 20133, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,1,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"25","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jappgeo.2012.01.001","article-title":"GPR applied to mapping utilities along the route of the Line 4 (yellow) subway tunnel construction in S\u00e3o Paulo City, Brazil","volume":"80","author":"Porsani","year":"2012","journal-title":"J.
