Close range photogrammetry network design is referred to the process of placing a set of cameras in order to achieve photogrammetric tasks. The main objective of this paper is tried to find the best location of two/three camera stations. The genetic algorithm optimization and Particle Swarm Optimization are developed to determine the optimal camera stations for computing the three dimensional c...

The effects on small format photogrammetry of radial and decentering distortion, variations in focal length and film unflatness are reviewed. The results of recent experiments with these parameters are described. The experiments have concentrated on the use of small non-metric cameras and the results are analysed to indicate the magnitude of errors which can be introduced to analytical and ster...

Corn is a common crop which is often studied in the applications of remote sensing and precision agriculture. In both cases, it is important to know the geometrical structure of the corn, for example, the diameter and height of stem, the leaf areas and leaf directions. It is convenient to measure these geometrical structural data on a 3D corn model. In order to generate such a corn 3D model, an...

In this paper a CAD application embedding photogrammetric procedures is described. Oleg Kolbaskin has originally created the CAD application and the photogrammetric procedures were programmed in the Department of Architectural Engineering of our Institute. The software can be used from both novice and experienced users in order to provide rectified images for cultural heritage documentation usa...

This paper shows the use of synthetic images obtained from digital surface models to optimize, on the one hand, photogrammetric planning, and on the other, computer animations. Synthetic images are generated in a photogrammetric simulator built up to project 3D models onto images, after defining a virtual (or real) photogrammetric camera with known inner orientation parameters. The outer orient...
