Photogrammetry PDF Print E-mail

Photogrammetry is based on the intersection of two or more light rays which are used to define a point in object space.

Correct reconstruction of camera geometry and lens distortion parameters is necessary for good results.

Camera resolution is also important – a higher resolution will provide increased precision. For example, using a 12 Mp camera from a flying height of 300 m will give a ground resolution of better than 6 cm (note this is not the same as accuracy, which is project dependent).

Photogrammetry techniques used in the image acquisition process
  • GPS ground control points to improve accuracies and apply absolute coordinates
  • Correct reconstruction of camera geometry and lens distortion parameters
  • GPS data collected 5/second along with UTC time, lat/long, elevation, roll, pitch and yaw, bearing, flight line, etc
  • Centimeter precisions
  • Best in the industry resolution of 5cm
