Automatic photogrammetric processing of historical (or archival) aerial photos is still a challenging task, particularly in cases of missing ancillary information, low radiometric and image quality, limited stereo coverage or large temporal span. However, with recent advances in photogrammetry and Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms for image processing and interpretation, an increasing number of applications are now feasible. The video presents the TIME (hisTorical aerIal iMagEs) benchmark (https://time.fbk.eu/), promotedby EuroSDR to explore the potential of historical aerial images. The TIME benchmark has collected aerial image blocks and time series imagery captured since the 1950s. To support the photogrammetric processing of the digitized photos, ancillary data are supplied with available information on flight missions, employed cameras or ground control points (GCPs). Several diverse investigations have been undertaken with the benchmark datasets, all captured over urban areas or landscapes.
