Synopsis

This course provides a general overview of Photogrammetry from idea to basic components, measurements, and geometric properties of aerial photography. The course is further designed to provide an understanding of the concepts and methodologies of analytical Photogrammetry. Within the practical, the contents are applied.

 

Contents

Introduction to Close Range Photogrammetry, Devices and components, Camera calibrations, Methods and data acquisition, Applications of close range photogrammetry, Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS), Errors and calibration, Data acquisitions, Geo-referencing and co-registering of multiple scans, Applications areas, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) for Photogrammetry, Future trends and new application areas

 

Practical Tasks

Planning and Photography, Familiarizing with PhotoModeler software, Working with camera and Calibration of cameras, Building a 3D model and 3D measurements, Dense surface creation, Wireframe modelling and Multi-photo texturing a mesh, Individual Project work using close range images
