Principles of Photogrammetry

3 credits · Graduate Programs

The role of photogrammetry in mapping applications (image acquisition and image measurement). Mathematical relationships between image space and object space. Two- and three-dimensional co-ordinate transformations. Conditions of collinearity and coplanarity; orientation procedures (interior, exterior, relative, absolute orientation and direct georeferencing); measurement and correction of image co-ordinates; stereomodel formation and error analysis; mathematical models for strip and block adjustments; project planning; principles of laser scanning. Prerequisite(s): Admission to the MEng (course-based) program. Antirequisite(s): Credit for Geomatics Engineering 634 and 431 will not be allowed.
