Aerial Photogrammetry Techniques and Uses

Photogrammetry is a surveying and mapping technique that utilizes photographs to create maps, drawings, measurements, or 3D models of real-world objects. Aerial photogrammetry involves capturing images from an aircraft to obtain reliable measurements of terrain, and it has applications in various fields such as geology, urban development, and transportation. While it offers advantages like speed and accuracy, it also has limitations including dependence on light conditions and susceptibility to data loss.

AERIAL PHOGRAMMETRY

PHOTOGRAMMETRY:

Photogrammetry is a surveying and mapping technique which


can be used in various applications. There are many uses of
Photogrammetry in the surveying industry such as topographic
mapping, site planning, earthwork volumes, production of
digital elevation models (DEM) and orth photography maps.
Photogrammetry describes from three words:
‘photo’ – light
‘gram’ – drawing
‘metry’ – measurement

The output of photogrammetry is typically a map, drawing,


measurement, or a 3D model of some real-world object or scene.

AERIAL PHOTOGRAPH:

 Photographs taken from a platform, usually an


airplane , flying above the earth’s surface.

 Can be taken from space but usually taken from within


the atmosphere.
TYPES OF AIR PHOTOS:

Vertical air photos


• Vertical or nearly vertical angle to the local ground surface
 Oblique air photos
• Tilted away from vertical
High oblique Low oblique

TWO TYPES OF PHOTOGRAMMETRY:

AERIAL PHOTOGRAMMETRY

TERRESTIAL PHOTOGRAMMETRY
AERIAL PHOGRAMMETRY

AERIAL PHOTOGRAMMETRY

Photographs of terrain in an area are taken by a precision


photogrammetric camera mounted in an aircraft flying over
an area

Technique of obtaining reliable measurement of objects


from their photographic images.

• Height of object
• Areas
• Lengths
• Density
AERIAL PHOGRAMMETRY

USES
 Geological investigation

 Soil survey

 Urban and Regional Development

 Transportation system

 Shore erosion
AERIAL PHOGRAMMETRY
ADVANTAGES:
 The foremost advantage of photogrammetry is the ease and speedat
which the data can be collected.
 The photogrammetric techniques yield results that are highly
accurate making it very reliable to use for mapping or other purposes.
 It offers a wide or broad view of the mapped area by utilizing both
topographic and cultural features of the land surface.

DISADVANTAGES:
 The major disadvantage is that the photogrammetric survey is not
possible in the absence of light.
 The accuracy of the measurements depends highly on the flight
height.
 The digital aspect of the photogrammetry surveys makes it susceptible
to hacks and loss of data due to viruses.
