• ISPRS Commission V Symposium 2002 • 2-6 September 2002 • Corfu – Greece CLOSE-RANGE IMAGING LONG-RANGE VISION Simple and low-cost digital photogrammetric systems • Tutor: Gabriele Fangi, Professor at the Facoltà di Ingegneria, Università di Ancona, Italy. • • Simple systems – easy to use, also for non expert photogrammetrists Low cost – less than 10.000 $ – Rectification – Photointerpretation – Plotting • • simple stereoplotters alternative systems without stereoscopy • “Traditional” systems • • • • VSD by Jakimsky, Stereometric by Galileo-Siscam (Italy), “RFD” by Geotop (Italy). Non-conventional systems • • • • • Rhad by Studio Presta, Italy PhOX by Studio Presta, Italy Canoma PF3 by Geotop, Italy Photomodeler UNIVERSITY OF ANCONA FIMET • The list is far to be complete. I tried unsuccesfully to contact the dealers for » 3D Builder » 3D Navigator by Menci, Italy » PhotoBuilder Photogrammetric stereoplotters Analog 1900-1980) Analytical (1980-1990) Digital (1990.....) 1) RhAD by Studio Presta, Italy The easiest tool for simplest photogrammetric survey • 1. RhAD Import the image in Rhad (window-rose of the façade of Cathedral in Orvieto) 2. Take four points in clockwise order at the corner of a rectangle and run the rectification. The final image is rectangular with two unknown scale factors in the two main directions. 3. Then with the help of some geometrical constraints (a circle, a square, etc) correctly dimension the image 4. To get a stereo-partner, repeat steps 1, 2, 3, for the left image
