RS4201 Photogrammetry Syllabus – Anna University PG Syllabus Regulation 2021

OBJECTIVE:

 To introduce basics and concepts of aerial photography, acquisition and mapping from aerial photographs using different types of stereo plotters

UNIT I INTRODUCTION TO PHOTOGRAMMETRY

Principles – Stereoscopic depth perception – aerial photo-aerial camera -Scale – overlaps – stereoscopy – concepts – viewing and measuring system – principle of floating mark – methods of parallax measurement – vertical photographs – geometry, scale, parallax equations, planimetric mapping – Tilted photograph – Geometry, Coordinate system, Scale, Planimetric mapping

UNIT II TRANSFORMATIONS

Coordinate systems for Photogrammetry – Map projections, Datums and conversions- 2D Coordinate transformations-Collinearity and Space resection-Analytical stereomodel and relative orientation Three dimensional Coordinate transformations

UNIT III PHOTOGRAMMETRY AND MAPPING

Concepts of interior, relative, absolute orientation – direct georeferencing – object, image relation – collinearity and coplanarity conditions – effect of orientation elements – Elements and principles of Aerotriangulation – Independent Models-Simultaneous bundle adjustment – ortho mosaic

UNIT IV DIGITAL IMAGE HANDLING

Digital cameras- CCD camera- full frame, frame transfer, interline CCD camera – Time delay integration- spectral sensitivity of CCD sensor – geometry and radiometry problem of CCD image – Image Generation – Data Compression – formats – Georeferencing – Stereo viewing – Display modes – image matching techniques – Image measurements.

UNIT V DP PROCEDURES AND APPLICATIONS

Review of space resection & intersection – Automatic tie point generation – Automatic Block triangulation, feature collection and plotting–DEM Generation – accuracy of DEMs, Orthorectification – regular & irregular data collection methods – contour generation – watershed delineation – Satellite Photogrammetry principles – missions – stereo image products. (satellite stereogrammetry) – Aerial, terrestrial, tilted photogrammetry

OUTCOMES:

On completion of the course, the student is expected to be able to

CO1 Understand and appreciate the importance of photography as means of mapping, functional and physical elements of photography.
CO2 Understand and reflect on the history and need of the photogrammetric mapping and the relevant accuracy standards and means to achieve them for precise large scale maps with scientific methods.
CO3 Evaluate the standards of map based on the state of the art tool and techniques and assess the production standards for photogrammetric map making.
CO4 Acquire knowledge on the current development, issues methods and solutions in map making and evaluate methods of production.
CO5 Analyze critically and evaluate methods by applying the knowledge so gained and to be a part of innovation and integration of mapping technology.
