Description Fully updated edition covering the latest technological advances in this evolving field
New chapter on laser scanning (LIDAR) systems and new material on the integration of GPS and INS and their use in direct georeferencing of images
Covers up-to-date imaging systems (large format digital cameras), measuring systems, and modern photogrammetric products
The definitive guide to photogrammetry--fully updated
Thoroughly revised to cover the latest technological advances in the field, Elements of Photogrammetry with Applications in GIS, Fourth Edition, provides complete details on the foundational principles of photogrammetry as well as important advanced concepts. Significant changes in the instruments and procedures used in modern photogrammetry, including laser scanning, are discussed.
