ALP 2206: REMOTE SENSING 1 Air Photos and Photogrammetry By P. K. Wanyoike Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing • Photogrammetry and remote sensing are two related fields. • The principle difference between photogrammetry and remote sensing is in the application; while photogrammetrists produce maps and precise three-dimensional positions of points, remote sensing specialists analyze and interpret images for deriving information about the earth’s land and water areas. • Both disciplines are also related to Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in that they provide GIS with essential information. • Quite often, the core of topographic information is produced by photogrammetrists in form of a digital map. Definition of photogrammetry • Photogrammetry may be defined as the art, science, and technology of obtaining reliable information about physical objects and the environment through processes of recording, measuring, and interpreting photographic images and patterns of recorded radiant electrotromagnetic energy. The definition may be extended to include analysis of radiated acoustical energy patterns and magnetic phenomena. (wolf) Aerial photography • Classification of aerial photographs • Aerial photographs are usually classified according to: – the orientation of the camera axis, – the focal length of the camera, and – the type of emulsion. Orientation of camera axis • classifying aerial photographs according to the orientation of the camera ax ...
