The application of photographic principles to the science of mapping The science of obtaining reliable spatial measurements from imagery
Photogrammetry, as its name implies, is a 3-dimensional coordinate measuring technique that uses photographs as the fundamental medium for metrology (or measurement) Photography describes the photographic principles involved in photogrammetry, while Metrology describes the techniques for producing 3-dimensional coordinates from two-dimensional photographs
A method of surveying or map making by photography, used also in determining the height and motions of clouds, sea waves, and the like
The science, art, and technology of obtaining reliable information from photographs
The science of using aerial photographs and other remote sensing imagery to obtain measurements of natural and human-made features on the Earth
The science of deducing the physical dimension of objects from measurements on photographs
the science of making reliable measurements by the use of photographs and especially aerial photographs (as in surveying)
The science or art of obtaining reliable measurements by photography For GIS applications, aerial photogrammetry often provides the foundation to develop base maps
The system of gathering information about physical objects through aerial photography and satellite imagery
The technique of assembling a series of (aerial) photographs to produce a plan of an archæological site
a photographic technique that gives accurate measurements of the land from photograph taken from the air
The science of determining the dimensions of objects from photographs taken of them using special cameras The Hasselblad 70mm cameras used on the lunar surface were equipped to provide photographs suitable for photogrammetry
The science of deducing the physical dimensions of objects from measurements on images (usually photographs) of the objects
