• Photogrammetric surveying or photogrammetry is the branch of
surveying in which maps are prepared from photo-graphs taken
from ground or air stati ons.
Field Applicati on of P h o to g ra m m e tr y :
•Used to conduct topographical survey or engineering surveys.
•Suitable for mountainous a n d hilly te rrain with litt le vegetati on.
• Used for geological mapping which includes identi fi cati on of land forms,
rock type & rock structures.
• Used for pr oject s dem a n din g h igh er a ccu r a cy, sin ce it pr ovides accurate
measurements.
•Used in u r b a n a n d regional planning applicati ons.
• Used mostly in Planning /designing in trans port planning, bridge,
pipeline, hydropower, u r b a n planning, security a n d strategic planning,
disaster manage ment, n at u ra l resources management, city models,
conservati on of archaeological sites etc.

• Its applicati ons include satellite tracking of t h e relati ve
positi oning alterati ons in all E a r t h environments (e.g.
tectonic moti ons etc.),
• The quanti tati ve results of photogrammetry a re used to guide
a n d match t h e results of computati onal models of t h e n at u ra l
systems, t h u s helping to invalidate or confi rm new theories, to
design novel vehicles or new methods for predicti ng or/and
controlling th e consequences of earthquakes, tsunamis, any
other weather types.
•Photogrammetry also helps for t h e solving of triangulati on,
trilaterati on a n d multi dimensional scaling.
• I n t h e simplest example, t he distance between two points
t h a t lie on a plane parallel to t h e photographic image plane
can be determined by measuring their distance on t he image,
if t h e scale (s) of th e image is known.

Dr a w BK per pen dicu la r t o N V m eet in g a t K
From similar triangles NVB a n d NKB,
d = r – r0
= Rf/(H-h) – Rf/H
d = Rfh/H(H-f) -----(3)
1/10000 = (20/100)/H
d = rh/H
= (6.44 * 250)/100 * 2000
= 0.805cm
Computation of flight plan
Since each photograph has a longitudinal overlap of Pl, the actual ground length (L) covered by
each photograph is given by
L = (1-Pl)sl
Similarly , the actual ground width (W) covered by each photograph is given by
W = (1-Pw)sw
Tilted Photograph:
An aerial photograph taken with a camera having it’s optical axis tilted usually
less than 3º from the vertical is known as tilted photograph.
Exposure (or air) station :
The exact position of the front nodal point of the lens in the air at the instant
of exposure.
Flying height (H)
The elevation of the air station above the mean sea level is known as flying
height of the aircraft.
Nadir Point (Plumb Point):
The point where a plumb line dropped from the front nodal point strikes the
Photograph
Camera Axis
It is the line passing through the centre of the camera lens perpendicular both to
the camera plate (negative) and the picture plane (photography).
Fiducial mark
A fiducial mark is one of two, three or four marks, located in contact with
the photographic emulsion in a camera image plane to provide a reference
line or lines for the plate measurement of images.
Principal Point
The point where a perpendicular dropped from the front nodal point strikes
the photographs is known as principal point of photograph
Focal length
It is the perpendicular distance from the centre of the camera lens to either
the picture plane or the camera plate.
