Synopsis

This course is design as an extension and unification of the mathematical background of the basic lectures, concerning fundamentals of Photogrammetry. This course provides the orientation procedure in analytical photogrammetry, including modelling of the measurement process beyond the collinearity.

 

Contents

Differential formula for a near vertical photograph, Model deformation, Introduction to analytical Photogrammetry, Analytical plotter, Analytical orientation procedures, Introduction to measurements of digital terrain models, Ortho-photography, Ortho-mosaics, Aerial Triangulation, Analytical rectification using 2D projective transformation

 

Learning Outcomes

By the end of the course, students should be able to:
