Publisher's Synopsis
Close range photogrammetry has become a readily available technique for those engineers and scientists wishing to utilize images to make accurate 3-D measurements of complex objects.
Close Range Photogrammetry Principles, Techniques and Applications explores the mathematics, systems, and applications needed to make best use of this emerging practice. The editors provide fundamental mathematics, encompassing orientation, digital image processing, and 3-D reconstruction methods. They discuss the technology for targeting and illumination, as well hardware and software systems. Many imaging systems are examined, such as analogue, digital, and laser-based measuring.
Providing example applications in many areas, ranging from industrial to forensic to medicine, this book provides an overview of photogrammetric solutions as applied in several fields including engineering, manufacturing, medicine, architecture, archaeology.
