Art Applied Studies Belgrade

Fundamentals of Photogrametry Course code: OFTG | 6 ECTS credits

Basic information
Level of Studies: Undergraduate applied studies
Year of Study: 2
Semester: 4
Requirements: Fulfillment of the minimum pre-examination requirements in the courses from the first year of studies, Geodetic plans and Computer application.
Goal: Acquisition of fundamental knowledge in the field of photogrammetry. Fundamentals of measurement procedures on the photographs and principles of their mathematical solutions. If spatial coordinates of the field points (which is one of the basic tasks of geodesy) are calculated using measurements obtained by aerial photogrammetry and other photographs rather than by direct measuring in the field, then we talk about a modern geodetic method – photogrammetry.
Outcome: The course Fundamentals of photogrammetry contributes to modern professional training in a way that it educates geodetic personnel for the implementation of new geodetic technologies which include photogrammetry.
Contents of the course
Theoretical instruction:
  1. Different sources of information on the surveyed surface or structure. Basic black-and-white, color and digital photographs.
  2. Mathematical bases of photogrammetric surveying. General equations of projection. Matrix of spatial rotation and the equation of collinear projection.
  3. Basic features of cameras for photogrammetric surveying. Determination of the elements of interior orientation of a camera. Planning aerial photogrammetry.
  4. Relative and absolute orientation of aerial photogrammetry.
  5. Familiarization with photogrammetric instruments and devices for observation, interpretation and measurement of photogrammetric surveying.
  6. Photogrammetric process of liner, digital and orthophoto plans and maps of the surveyed terrain or structure. Accuracy of photogrammetric methods.
  7. Field photogrammetric works: determination of orientation points, photo signaling, decryption and additional field works.
  8. Close range photogrammetry principlesand application.
Practical instruction (Problem solving sessions/Lab work/Practical training):
  1. Calculation exercises and independent completion of assignments in the field of aerial and close range photogrammetry in a classroom and computer labs.
