Course Overview
Photogrammetry 2; the focus of this course will be developing the knowledge and skills necessary to understand and use stereo photogrammetry on a Stereo Softcopy Workstation. This is the primary tool used in the mapping industry. Students will review the basic mathematics and consider the workflow of map creation found in most mapping companies. Students will orient a stereo model, compile planimetric data, collect digital elevation models, create contours and Triangulated Irregular Networks (TINs). In a term project students will compile a portion of the Burnaby campus and create various finished products such as visualization products and a printed map.
