SET 01307 - Photogrammetry

Credits: 3

This course covers the basics of interpretative and geometric aspects of photogrammetry as the art and science of making maps from aerial photographs including manned aircrafts and satellites. Geometric and physical optics, and sensor types and characteristics are discussed. Geometric properties of vertical photography and the science of producing orthorectified images and creating topographic maps from rectified block of stereo photographs. Students apply analytical methods in performing interior orientation, absolute orientation, coordinate transformation, and aero-triangulation of the stereo photographs. Softcopy photogrammetric processing methods are introduced.
