Definition

Photogrammetry is the science and technology of obtaining information about the physical environment from images, with a focus on applications in surveying, map**, and high-precision metrology. The aim of photogrammetry is to provide automated or semiautomated procedures for these engineering tasks, with emphasis on a specified accuracy, reliability, and completeness of the information.

Background

Photogrammetry is a long-established engineering discipline, which dates back to the middle of the nineteenth century, shortly after the invention of the photographic process. It has its roots in surveying, predominantly for aerial map** of the earth’s surface, although terrestrial “close-range” photogrammetry has always been an integral part of the discipline. Traditionally photogrammetry has emphasized 3D geometricmodeling of the environment, since in an...
