Introduction

Basic idea and main task of photogrammetry
If you want to measure the size of an object, let’s say the length, width and height of a house, then normally you will carry this out directly at the object. Now imagine that the house didn’t exist anymore – it was destroyed, but some historic photos exist. Then, if you can determine the scale of the photos, it must be possible to get the desired data. Of course you can use photos to get information about objects. This kind of information is different: So, for example, you may receive qualitative data (the house seems to be old, the walls are coloured light yellow) from photo interpretation, or quantitative data like mentioned before (the house has a base size of 8 by 6 meters) from photo measurement, or information in addition to your background knowledge (the house has elements of the “art nouveau” style, so may be constructed at the beginning of the 20th century), and so on.



Photogrammetry provides methods to give you information of the second type, quantitative data. As the term already indicates, photogrammetry can be defined as the “science of measuring in photos”, and is traditional a part of geodesy, belonging to the field of remote sensing (RS). If you would like to determine distances, areas or anything else, the basic task is to get object (terrain) co-ordinates of any
point in the photo from which you can then calculate geometric data or create maps.


Obviously, from a single photo (two-dimensional plane) you can only get two dimensional coordinates. Therefore, if we need three-dimensional co-ordinates, we have to find a way how to get the third dimension. This is a good moment to remember the properties of human vision (see also chapter 4.4). We are able to see objects in a spatial manner, and with this we are able to estimate the distance between an object and us. But how does it work? As you know, our brain at all times gets two slightly different images resulting from the different positions of the left respectively the right eye and according to the fact of the eye's central perspective.
