Photogrammetry

1.0 Definition

Art, science and technology of obtaining reliable information about physical objects and the

environment, through process of recording, measuring and interpreting photographic images, for the

purpose of determining the position, size and shape of the photographed object.

2.0 Areas/ Field of work

2.1 Metric Photogrammetry

2.1.1 Making precise measurements from photos and other image media to determine relative

locations of points, distances, scales, angles, areas, volumes, elevations and the size and shapes of

objects.

2.1.2 The basic applications:

a) Aerial Photo

b) Terrestrial Photo

c) Extra Terrestrial Photo

d) Close Range Photo

2.2 Interpretative Photogrammetry

2.2.1 Recognizing and identifying objects and judging their significance through careful and schematic

analysis

2.2.2 Two main applications

a) Photographic Interpretation

b) Remote sensing

3. Aerial Photograph

Aerial Photograph

3.1 Vertical Photos 3.2 Tilted Photos 3.3 Oblique

What? : Photos that are taken with theWhat?

camera: Photos that are taken with tilts less than

axis directed nearly vertical as possible. 1o and seldom more than 3o.
3.3.1 Low Oblique

Intentionally tilted aerial photos which

If perfectly vertical, the topographic plane
does not include the horizon.
would be parallel to the datum.

3.3.2 High Oblique

Intentionally tilted aerial photos which

includes the horizon.

3.3.3 Additional

When? When the time work is limited, oblique photos will serve photos

with high coverage.

Advantage? More pictorial (connected with pictures) than vertical photos

and therefore easily interpreted.
