Photogrammetry relates the principles of photography, precise image measurement, and computation for the development of accurate spatial information. Photogrammetry is heavily utilized in the public, private, and defense sectors for the creation of high-resolution maps, three-dimensional (3D) models, and for detailed geometric analyses (e.g., change detection associated with imaged objects or the surface of the Earth). This course covers the fundamentals of optics,
photography, image measurement, coordinate transformations, calculating geometry from vertical and tilted aerial imagery, stereoscopic visualization, photogrammetric control and flight mission planning, and the development of geospatial products such as digital surface models (DSM), 3D point clouds, and orthorectified basemaps. Laboratory exercises and a final project provide practical hands-on experience with topics ranging from photogrammetric analysis of
historical film imagery to the creation of digital 3D point clouds and surfaces using unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) and modern digital cameras.

Photogrammetry, the art and science of making accurate measurements on photographs, is an important and fundamental discipline concerned with civilian and military mapping. Students, applying simple geometric principles to the photograph, determine object identity, size, spatial relationship, and position. An abundance of practical exercises, involving the use of sophisticated equipment, provide the opportunity to apply the fundamentals while arriving at solutions to real-world problems. An interesting field trip to a local mapping organization vividly displays how all these techniques may be blended to produce maps in the commercial business world.
