Abstract
Photogrammetry is a technique that allows the measurement of an object without touching it. Measurement can be performed in two and three dimensions (2D and 3D) exploiting both photograms (analogical images) acquired by traditional photogrammetric cameras and digital imagery. Although photogrammetry was born for architectural survey, it can be considered the first remote sensing technology based on the acquisition of objects’ geometric properties from photographic images. Nowadays it is widely used in topographic aerial survey and mapping, and for military purposes.
