What is
Photogrammetry?
Photogrammetry
is the science and technology of obtaining reliable information about physical
objects and the environment through the process of recording, measuring, and
interpreting photographic images and patterns of electromagnetic radiant
imagery and other phenomena. Essentially, photogrammetry involves taking
measurements from photographs, typically aerial photos, to create accurate
maps, 3D models, and other data representations.
How Does
Photogrammetry Work?
1. Image Acquisition:
Multiple overlapping photographs of an object or terrain are taken from
different angles.
2. Processing: These images are
processed using specialized software to extract geometric information.
3. Model Creation: The
data is used to create 2D maps or 3D models by triangulating the spatial
relationships between points in the images.
4. Analysis: The resulting models
or maps are analyzed for various applications, providing detailed insights
into the physical world.
