Topic: Photogrammetry


  
  Intro to Photogrammetry
Photogrammetry is the technique of measuring objects (2D or 3D) from photo-grammes.
Aerial photogrammetry is mainly used to produce topographical or thematical maps and digital terrain models.
Among the users of close-range photogrammetry are architects and civil engineers (to supervise buildings, document their current state, deformations or damages), archaeologists, surgeons (plastic surgery) or police departments (documentation of traffic accidents and crime scenes), just to mention a few.

  Photogrammetry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Photogrammetry is a measurement technology in which the three-dimensional coordinates of points on an object are determined by measurements made in two or more photographic images taken from different positions (see stereoscopy).
Photogrammetry is used in different fields, such as topographic mapping, architecture, engineering, police investigation, and geology, as well as by archaeologists to quickly produce plans of large or complex sites.
Photogrammetry is a collection of methods for several geodetic tasks.

 Innovation: Photogrammetry for Mobile Mapping - GPS Survey & Construction
One of the oldest techniques still used for mapping is photogrammetry — the science, art, and technology of obtaining reliable measurements from images to determine the geometric properties of objects.
And still, the principal application of photogrammetry is in mapping — determining the spatial position of the natural and human-made features on the Earth's surface.
While photogrammetry is often used as a mapping tool on its own, GPS (perhaps with an integrated inertial navigation system, or INS) typically comes to the aid of the technique by supplying accurate coordinates for the cameras.

 Digital photogrammetry
The touch sensitive 2-D profiling system employed on the FCF was used to measure cross sectional profiles at various critical locations along the flume.
The accuracy of elevations determined by digital photogrammetry could therefore be assessed, by extracting the same cross sectional profiles through the DEM and comparing them with those directly measured.
It should be remembered also that this higher density is achieved across the whole flume in three dimensions and is not restricted to just the arbitrary plane selected for comparative purposes and accuracy assessment.
