Course Overview
Photogrammetry 1 is an introductory course to the science of photogrammetry. Students will be introduced to the mathematics and concepts behind both stereo and non-stereo photogrammetry. Mathematical concepts such as collinearity, coplanarity, the geometry of the stereo model, and bundles adjustments will be considered. The application of photogrammetry in the mapping, surveying, forestry, archeology, construction, engineering, forensics, law enforcement, and the movie industry will be explained. Students will then explore terrestrial photogrammetry. Using non-metric cameras and software students will calibrate their cameras, capture photographs of objects, model these objects and convert them to CAD and Google Earth. Students will also have the opportunity to compare their photogrammetric measurements with field measurements to determine the level of accuracy that they are able to achieve with this technique.
