Author Description
Photogrammetry is the use of photography for surveying primarily and is used for the production of maps from aerial photographs. Along with remote sensing, it represents the primary means of generating data for Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Digital Photogrammetry is a unique book in that it examines the digital aspect of photogrammetry and delves into topics like acquisition of data, workstations, digital tools, Orthophotography, and more. This book is particularly useful as a text for graduate students in geomantics, but is also suitable for people with a good basic scientific knowledge who need to understand photogrammetry, and who wish to use the book as a reference.
Menrva's Summary
THE THESIS
This text investigates the technical transition from analog to digital photogrammetry, establishing a comprehensive framework for modern surveying and mapping practices. Michel Kasser, an expert in the field, synthesizes complex geometric principles with practical computational applications. The book provides a structured analysis of how digital imagery serves as the primary data source for Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and spatial analysis. By bridging theoretical optics with modern software workflows, the author creates a systematic guide for professionals and students alike.
THE SCOPE MAP
What You Will Find
- Technical methodologies for the acquisition and processing of digital aerial imagery.
- Detailed examination of digital photogrammetric workstations and hardware configurations.
- Principles of Orthophotography and the generation of accurate spatial models.
- Integration strategies for combining photogrammetric data with GIS databases.
THE AUTHORITY PERSPECTIVE
Experts identify this work as a foundational reference for graduate-level study in geomatics and spatial sciences. Readers frequently note the technical density of the prose, which requires a solid background in mathematics and physics to fully utilize the provided methodologies.
