Airborne digital sensors are about to widen the choices in photogrammetry. The transition from analytical to digital photogrammetry is well advanced. Recent technology developments provide new solutions for high-resolution image acquisition for photogrammetric applications. These sensors are based on CCD-matrices as well as CCD-line sensors and fulfill both. The emphasis is placed on general pr...

Modeling of 3D scenes has been the defining subject in photogrammetry or remote sensing for more than 100 years, and it is now for about 30 years one of the main subjects in computer vision. There are recently significant paradigm shifts in both areas. Digital imaging reshaped photogrammetry and remote sensing, and active vision (e.g., integrating laser range finder, SAR, or structured lighting...

Standard digital stereo photogrammetric systems are mainly designed to accomplish specific tasks and hence they may be regarded as problem oriented systems. However, for the solution of variety of conventional and non-conventional problems in computer vision and photogrammetry a vision based tool box may offer a great flexibility and adaptability for handling different tasks. In this paper the ...

The privacy of source code makes, in many situations, commercial application software unable to academic purposes. Such applicative programs are like “black-boxes”, allowing only data input and results output, as a function of the graphical user interface manipulation. It strongly hinders their application to education, since users remains alienated of what exactly is performed in the applicati...

In last decade, we have witnessed an increased number of publications related to systems that combine laser scanning and closerange photogrammetry technologies in order to address the challenges posed by application fields as diverse as industrial, automotive, space exploration and cultural heritage to name a few. The need to integrate those technologies is driven by resolution, accuracy, speed...

A Digital Elevation Model (DEM) represents the height of a patch of terrain. Accuracies of DEMs vary depending upon the requirements of different applications. DEMs have been applied to a wide range of civil engineering and military planning tasks. Besides the conventional methods of creating DEMs, such as photogrammetry and manual field survey, airborne laser scanning and radar interferometry ...

This study aims to evaluate the reliability and establish procedures for the use of digital photogrammetry in anthropometric measurements of the human hand. The methodology included the construction of a platform to allow the placement of the hand always equivalent to a distance of the camera lens and to annul the effects of parallax. We developed a software to perform the measurements from the...

Modern urban infrastructure needs a comprehensive and integrated information science and technology. Global Position System (GPS), Geographic Information System (GIS), Digital Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (RS) and other spatial information technologies are it’s core techniques. Products of digital photogrammetry and remote sensing are its basic information resource. The key tasks of modern...

In architectural surveying aimed to restoration and to conservation, close to the traditional two-dimensional vectorial representation in orthogonal projection, raster representation has gained considerable importance. Among all raster representations, the most widely-used is the digital orthophoto. The application of laser scanners as a new instrument for terrestrial survey together with firml...
