Photogrammetry
Photogrammetry is the first remote sensing technology ever developed, in which geometric properties about objects are determined from photographic images. Historically, photogrammetry is as old as modern photography itself, and can be dated to mid-nineteenth century.
We provide this advanced Geological Information System (GIS) based service for various remote sensing activities of the clients. We determine the distance between two points which lay on a plane parallel to the photographic image plane by scaling their distance on the image using advanced photogrammetric technology.
We also make use of more sophisticated technique, called stereo-photogrammetry, to estimate the three-dimensional coordinates of points on an object. These are determined by measurements made in two or more photographic images taken from different positions. Common points are identified on each image. A line of sight can be constructed from the camera location to the point on the object. It is the intersection of these rays that determines the three-dimensional location of the point.
Our advanced photogrammetry services are helpful in various areas such as:
- Topographic mapping
- Architectural developments
- Engineering
- Manufacturing
- Quality control
- Police investigations
- Geology
- Archaeology to quickly produce plans of large or complex sites
- Meteorology to determine the actual wind speed of a tornado
- Movie post production to combine live action with computer graphics
