A great number of papers have been so far published about the comparison and the integration between terrestrial laser scanning and digital photogrammetry, as surveying and 3D modeling techniques. Though most of the works report about their application to Cultural Heritage, achieved results have shown that these two technologies can supplement each other in creating high-quality 3D recordings a...

The LH Systems ADS40 airborne digital sensor fulfils photogrammetric and remote sensing requirements. The new sensor is not only a camera to acquire attractive pictures: it is the next fully digital generation of measurement device for airborne photogrammetry and remote sensing. The accuracy of the lens and focal plane system under flight conditions (pressure and temperature) is described and a...

With the appearance of low-cost and high-resolution consumer-grade digital cameras, a practical three-dimensional (3D) measurement system using a consumer-grade digital camera is greatly anticipated in various fields. In these circumstances, the authors have been concentrating on developing a practical 3D measurement system that includes photogrammetric software called the Image Based Integrate...

PURPOSE The aim of this study is to present the development of a new technique to obtain 3D models using photogrammetry by a mobile device and free software, as a method for making digital facial impressions of patients with maxillofacial defects for the final purpose of 3D printing of facial prostheses. METHODS With the use of a mobile device, free software and a photo capture protocol, 2D c...

The photogrammetry has used the general development of the technique for its own purpose. It started with the analogue, continued with the analytical and reached now the digital methods. Digital systems do now allow a high degree of automation. With the digital possibilities in imaging and processing together with automation, we are not far away from on-line generation of ortho images. The inte...

The transition from film imaging to digital imaging in photogrammetric data capture is opening interesting possibilities for photogrammetric processes. A great advantage of digital sensors is their radiometric potential. This article presents a state-of-the-art review on the radiometric aspects of digital photogrammetric images. The analysis is based on a literature research and a questionnaire...

The use of digital image analysis in architectural photogrammetry allows the automation of monotonous low-level tasks and makes the interpretation of facades much easier. Different segmentation methods for a computer assisted mapping of joint contours are discussed. Exemplary the application of the watershed transform is described and a combined watershedmethod will be presented, which is well ...

Orthophotos (or orthoimages if in digital form) have long been recognised as a supplement or alternative to standard maps. The increasing applications of orthoimages require efforts to ensure the accuracy of produced orthoimages. As digital photogrammetry technology has reached a stage of relative maturity and stability, the availability of high quality ground control points (GCPs) and digital ...
