✦ Synopsis

Over the past decade, advances in the field of close-range photogrammetry have been rapid and the era of digital photogrammetry is well on its way. This book provides a complete account of the subject with contributions from international experts. The methodology, algorithms, techniques and equipment necessary to achieve real-time digital photogrammetric solutions are presented, together with contemporary aspects of close-range photogrammetry. Advances in the theory are presented as are a range of important applications of photogrammetry which illustrate the flexibility and comprehensive nature of these techniques of three-dimensional measurement
