Concept explainers

Photogrammetry

Photogrammetry is a technology of taking measurements of physical objects present in the environment, using photographs. It includes the process of recording and analyzing a three-dimension image in the two-dimension form. Photogrammetry was invented around 150 years ago in 1851 by Aimé Laussedat, he was also known as the father of photogrammetry, but this method was not in use until 50 years after its invention. This method was first used in Germany by Dr. Albrecht Meydenbauer in 1893 who was the director of the Royal Prussian Photogrammetric institute founded by him.

In trying to minimise errors that come with using a tape in linear measurements, Mapalo suggested to the class that an EDM be used to compute the distance from BM1 to point A. A distance of 2122.241m was measured. Given that a frequency of 1.4985MHz was used, speed of light c = 299792458m/s, the refraction index of 1.0003 and that the effective wavelength measures to a centimetre, determine the phase measurement (i.e. Phase Distance and the corresponding Phase angle)

1. Sometimes in leveling across topographic features such as rivers, it is difficult or may be utilized at such impossible to keep back sights and foresights short and equal. locations. 2. The most common method of determining difference in elevation, in this method a telescope with suitable magnification is used to read graduated rods held on fixed points. A horizontal line of sight within the telescope is established by means of a level vial or automatic compensator. 3. It is a leveling that consists in making rod readings on the upper, middle and lower crosshairs. 4. This leveling is useful in investigating and selecting the most economical grade, location, and depth for sewers, pipelines, tunnels, irrigation ditches, and other projects. 5. leveling is used where difficult terrain, such as mountainous areas, precludes the use of conventional differential leveling.
