3. Photos – light
Gramma – to draw
Metron – to measure
“Photogrammetry is the technique of measuring objects
from photographs”
“The art, science and technology of obtaining reliable
spatial information about physical objects and the
environment through the processes of recording,
measuring and interpreting image data.”
4. Aerial Photogrammetry the camera is mounted
in an aircraft and is usually pointed vertically towards
the ground. Multiple overlapping photos of the ground
are taken as the aircraft flies along a flight path. These
photos are processed in a stereo-plotter (an instrument
that lets an operator see two photos at once in a stereo
view). These photos are also used in automated
processing for Digital Elevation Model (DEM) creation.
Close-range Photogrammetry the camera is
close to the subject and is typically hand held or on a
tripod. Usually this type of photogrammetry work is
non-topographic - that is the output is not topographic
products like terrain models or topographic maps, but
instead drawings and 3d models. Everyday cameras are
used to model buildings, engineering structures,
vehicles, forensic and accident scenes, film sets, etc.

18. There is no common usage of the terms digital
elevation model (DEM), digital terrain model
(DTM) and digital surface model (DSM) in
scientific literature.
In the most cases the term digital surface model
represents the earth's
The digital terrain model represents the bare
ground surface
The term Digital Elevation Model is often used as a
generic term for DSMs and DTMs, only
representing height information without any further
definition about the surface

21. Contour lines are lines drawn on a map connecting
points of equal elevation
Contour lines are useful because they allow us to show
the shape of the land surface (topography) on a map
This vertical spacing is referred to as the contour interval
If the contour interval is 10 ft. Each the contour lines was
a multiple of 10 ft.( i.e. 0, 10, 20, 30)
In areas with high relief the contour interval is usually
larger

23. DATA FOR THE 3D CITY MODELS
The 3D city models contain data, which is related to the Spatial objects.
Those objects are generally topography, buildings, transportation,
plant cover, infrastructure and other details related to the goal of
application.
3D city models are focused on buildings however it may contain
roads, green cover, trees etc. according to the usage of model.
27. ORTHO PHOTO GENARATION
Usually orthoimages do have some geometric limitations, they do
show only the elements located in the height level of the used DEM in
the correct location. Buildings not included in the DEM, are shifted with
the location of the roofs depending upon the tangent of the nadir angle
of the image location multiplied with the building height. So also parts of
the facade can be seen If the height value of the roof is included in a
detailed DEM, the roof is shown in the correct position corresponding to
an orthogonal map projection. This is causing the problem that for some
parts, before hidden by the roof, no information is available for the
orthoimage

orthoimage with the

30. The output of photogrammetry is typically a
map, drawing or a 3d model of some real-
world object or scene. Many of the maps we
use today are created with photogrammetry
and photographs taken from aircraft.
