451-447 Photogrammetry

451-332 Imaging in the Geosciences and 451-206 Least Squares Estimation and Network Analysis

Upon completion of this subject students should have a thorough understanding of the principles of modern photogrammetry, both topographic and non-topographic.

Topics cover the mathematical foundations of multi-image photogrammetry; bundle adjustment and sensor self-calibration; feature extraction and image matching; digital photogrammetric workstations; orthorectification, automated restitution and DTM extraction in aerial photogrammetry; GPS aerial triangulation; mathematical models, imaging characteristics and mapping products from high-resolution satellite imagery; close-range digital photogrammetry; and industrial and engineering applications of vision metrology.

One 3-hour written examination plus assignments and practical exercise reports totalling not more than 40 pages. The relative weighting of the assessment components will be provided to students at the beginning of the subject.
