Photogrammetry in industrial measurement

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Engineering Aspects of Lasers Series ((EALS))

Abstract

The word photogrammetry originally applied to any form of measurement using light, being equivalent to what we might now call optical metrology, but it rapidly became virtually synonymous with ‘air survey’. With the advent of high-speed computers it became practical to generalize the methods developed in air survey to produce accurate estimates of the shape of relatively small and close objects, typically in the size range from one to one hundred metres. In order to make the distinction between this generalized form of the subject and conventional air survey, it became known as close-range photogrammetry which is taken to include industrial, medical and architectural applications.
