-The science of obtaining reliable measurements by means of images
for the determination of the geometric properties of objects.
-An image refers to any pictorial representation, regardless of what wavelengths or remote sensing device has been used to detect and record the electromagnetic energy. A photograph refers specifically to images that have been detected as well as recorded on photographic film. -Photogrammetry gathers measurements and data about an object by analyzing the change in position from two different images. It uses things like perspective, advanced processing software and photo analysis to get the job done, but it can happen on the ground or from the ai r. I n th i s g u i d e , we ’ l l ex p l a i n t h e d i ffe re nt t y p e s o f photogrammetry and how it can be used - Te r r e s t r i a l p h o t o g r a m m e t r y i s a n i m p o r ta n t b ra n c h o f t h e s c i e n c e o f photogrammetry -It deals with photographs taken with cameras located on the surface of the earth -The cameras may be handheld, mounted on tripods, or suspended from towers or otherspecially designed mounts -Aerial photography is the taking of photographs from an aircraft or other airborne platforms. When taking motion pictures, it is also known as aerial videography -Aerial photogrammetry is a technique for creating two dimensional (2D) or three dimensional (3D) models from aerial photographs, which are pictures of the Earth from a high point, usually an airplane. These photographs are then turned into the models by cartographers -Space photogrammetry , a relatively new branch, refers to all aspects of extraterrestrial photography, whether the camera is fixed on earth, placed on the moon or a planet, or contained in an artificial satellite. -The term close-range photogrammetry is generally used for terrestrial photographs having object distances up to about 300 m -With terrestrial photography the cameras are usually accessible, so that directmeasurements can be made to obtain exposure station positions, similar to airborne GPScontrol with aerial photography -The term clo-With some terrestrial cameras, angular orientation can also be measured or set to fixedvalues, so that all elements of exterior orientation of a terrestrial photo are commonlyknown and need not be calculated -These known exterior orientation parameters are a source of control for terrestrial photos,replacing in whole or in part the necessity for locating control points in the object space -Analogue Photogrammetry is a branch of photogrammetry which starts with conventional photographs and in which the processing is by means of optical-mechanical instruments is called analogue photogrammetry. -Analog photogrammetry models the imaging processing by mechanical, electrical or optical analogons. Typical manifestations are the many widely used stereo-plotting instruments that convert a pair of photographs into a map manuscript Stereoplotter is an instrument that projects a stereoscopic image from aerial photographs, converts the locations of objects and landforms on the image to x-, y-, and z-coordinates, and plots these coordinates as a drawing or map. Analytical photogrammetry is a term used to describe the rigorous mathematical calculation of coordinates of points in object space based upon camera parameters, measured photo coordinates, and ground control. Unlike the elementary methods presented in earlier chapters, this process rigorously accounts for any tilts… Group Discussion/Mini-workshop Count off from 1 to 5 • Group yourselves according to your number • Each group should elect a leader • Each group will be provided with the following: – 1 sheet manila paper – 1 marker/ • Workshop activity instructions (see next slide) • After each workshop, the leader will present the group‟s output
