Photogrammetric systems are important sources for GIS databases. Currently, the trend towards the integration of photogrammetric systems and spatial databases is increased significantly. Integration of photogrammetric systems and spatial databases has great benefits in which some of them are mentioned here. This integration makes it possible to use information stored in spatial databases in the...

Carsten Reich Reinhold Ritter Jan Thesing Technical University of Braunschweig Institute of Metrology and Experimental Mechanics Schleinitzstraße 20 D-38106 Braunschweig, Germany E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. A new concept for 3-D shape measurement of complex objects is proposed, which is based on photogrammetry and fringe projection. The shape of a partial view is determined by a combinat...

Photogrammetric network design is the process of optimising a network configuration in terms of the accuracy of object points. This accuracy is improved by selecting the best set of intersection rays in a bundle adjustment. This paper explains the approach followed to achieve the development of a practical network design using a real robotic system. The aim is to integrate a simulation-based ne...

Photogrammetric documentation can provide a sound database for the needs of architectural heritage preservation. However, the major part of photogrammetric documentation production is not used for subsequent architectural heritage projects, due to lack of knowledge of photogrammetric documentation accuracy. In addition, there are only a few studies with rigorous analysis of the requirements for...

Historically flight management systems have been considered separately from the photogrammetric workflow. In fact, many times vendors of photogrammetric production systems have left the development of flight management systems to enterprising photo flight companies who commercialized an in-house development. Here we present a new approach to the overall concept of sensor management and demonstr...

The complementary characteristics of LiDAR and photogrammetric data continuously motivate the integration of both systems and the benefits of integrating them have already been proven by many researchers [1], [2]. To fully utilize the synergic characteristics of these data, they should be georeferenced to the same reference frame; hence, the importance of a proper co-registration methodology is...

Both improvements in camera technology and the rise of new matching approaches triggered the development of suitable software tools for image based 3D reconstruction by research groups and vendors of photogrammetric software. Based on dense pixel-wise matching, the photogrammetric generation of dense 3D point clouds and Digital Surface Models from highly overlapping aerial images has become fea...

Improvements and new developments in the fields of sensor and computer technology have had a major impact on photogrammetry. Nowadays a variety of cameras and photogrammetric systems is available. The application of a S-VHS camcorder together with a system for Digital Photogrammetry and Architectural Design in architectural photogrammetry is demonstrated on a practical object. The imaging syste...
