6. 6 Koert Sijmons Basic principles of Photogrammetry Photogrammetry is the science and technology of obtaining spatial measurements and other geometrically reliable derived products from photographs. Obtaining approximate distances, areas, and elevations using hardcopy photographic products with unsophisticated equipment Photogrammetric analysis procedures can range from: Geometric concepts to generating precise digital elevation Models (DEMs), Orthophotos,and thematic GIS data Cont.

7. 7 Koert Sijmons Introduction The terms digital and softcopy photogrammetry are inter- changeable to refer to any photogrammetric operation involving the use of digital raster photographic image data rather than hardcopy images. Digital photogrammetry is changing rapidly and forms the basis for most current photogrammetric operations. However, the same basic geometry principles apply to traditional hardcopy (analog) and softcopy (digital ) procedures. Cont.

8. 8 Koert Sijmons Introduction Mapping from aerial photographs can take on numerous forms and can employ either hardcopy or softcopy approaches. Traditionally, topographic maps have been produced from hardcopy stereo-pairs in a stereo-plotter device. A stereo-plotter is designed to transfer map information without distortions, from stereo photographs. A similar device can be used to transfer image information, with distortions removed, in the form of an Orthophoto. Cont.

9. 9 Koert Sijmons Introduction Orthophotos combine the geometric utility of a map with the extra “real-world image” information provided by a photograph. The process of creating an Orthophoto depends on the existence of a reliable DEM for the area being mapped. The DEM is usually prepared photogrammetrically as well. A digital photogrammetric workstation generally provide the Integrated functionality for such tasks as generating: DEMs, digital Orthophotos, perspective views, and “fly-throughs” simulations, as well as the extraction of spatially referenced GIS data in two or three dimensions

27. 27 Koert Sijmons Aerial Photo Concept Digital Orthophotos are generated from the same type of Aerial photo as conventional hardcopy Orthophotography. The difference lies in the scanning of the airphoto, converting the photo to a digital image product that will be manipulated and processed with a computer. Cont.

28. 28 Koert Sijmons Aerial Photo Concepts The relationship between photo scale, scanning resolution and final scale must be considered. Final resolution of the Orthophoto product is based on the application that the Orthophotos are being used for, and also the limitations of disk space that may be encountered during the project. It is not always beneficial to scan an airphoto at the highest number of dots per inch (DPI), if the application does not warrant such high resolution. Cont.

29. 29 Koert Sijmons Aerial Photo Concepts A simple equation can be used to calculate the scanning resolution necessary based on the original scale, final output pixel size and the size of the hardcopy photo. The equation is: where: p = output pixel size (cm) W = photo size (cm) r s = scanning resolution (DPI) d = Foot print size (cm) Cont. = ______ r s W p * d * 2,54 cm/inch

30. 30 Koert Sijmons Aerial Photo Concepts Example: A photo is 9 inches (22.86 cm) across, and covers a ground distance of 8 Km. The final resolution required is 3 meter the scanning resolution in dots per inch (DPI) would be: r s = 800000 cm * 2.54 cm/inch = 296 DPI 22.86 cm * 300 cm _________________ Cont.

31. 31 Koert Sijmons Aerial Photo Concepts The scanning resolution can also be determinated from the photo scale, without having calculate the ground distance. photo scale is more commonly quoted in the aerial survey report. = ______ r s W p * d From the previous mentioned equation: we derive: r s = d W * S * 2.54 p ____ ___ = 2.54 ____ p where S = photo scale Cont.

32. 32 Koert Sijmons Aerial Photo Concepts For example, a typical aerial survey might consist of photos at 1:4,800 scale. The desired output resolution for the orthophotos is approx. 30 cm. For 22.86 cm airphoto, a reasonable scanning resolution would be: r s = _____ * * S 2.54 p = 4800 _____ 30 = 406 DPI

33. 33 Koert Sijmons Aerial Photo Concepts The St. Eustasius demonstration dataset was flown at an average photoscale of 1:40,500 The photos are 22.86 cm x 22.86 cm. We want a ground resolution of 3m., so we must calculate the scanning resolution. r s = S * * 2.54 p = 40.500 300 = 342.9 DPI ____ 2.54 ____
