Outline • Definition and Uses (2) • General procedure (1) • PhotoModeler Software (3) • Accuracy (1) • Conclusions (1) • Producers and References (1)
Definition • Photogrammetry: a measuring technique allowing the modelling of a 3D space using 2D images Source: Geodetic Systems, Inc
Subdivisions and Use • Photogrammetry • Aerial • Terrestrial • Close range • Digital • Applications • manufacturing processes • architectural modeling • equipment design and installation • construction • entertainment and special effects • forensics Source: North Carolina DOT
Referencing and 3D Mapping Bundle Adjustment General Procedure Camera Calibration and Orientation Source: Geodetic Systems, Inc
Referencing Source: Photomodeler
3D Output Source: Photomodeler
Automation Source: Photomodeler
Accuracy • Current capabilities • 1/10 to 1/50 of pixel • 1/20,000 to 1/100,000 of object • 0.009” to 0.002” on a 15 ft object Source: Geodetic Systems, Inc
Conclusions • Many potential applications exist • Accuracy levels are impressive and continue to improve • For a single measurements the method is simple and quick • Post-processing demands increase for multiple measurements • Industry trend is towards improved automation
