Virtual Inverse Photogrammetry

Inverse Photogrammetry is used as a tool for visualizing projected developments or past situations within an existing environment. Usually traditional photogrammetric practice is followed with respect to data input, processing and output of inverse photogrammetric products. Since the purpose is visual inspection and overview rather than strict metric needs, fast and cheap methods for both the data to be gathered and the photogrammetric processing are favorable. The work is an attempt to meet these requirements by using video recording for data input and user friendly software for data processing. The importance of the final presentation of the results suggests the use of a virtual computer environment with various visualization capabilities, more advanced than the ones used for the purposes of traditional Inverse Photogrammetry.
