Photogrammetry is the science of obtaining information about physical objects through photographs, without needing direct contact. It involves measuring and analyzing captured images. The name comes from Greek roots meaning "light", "drawing", and "to measure". Key developments included using photography for mapmaking in the 1840s-1850s, the photogrammetric stereoplotter in the 1890s, and aerial photography from balloons and planes in the 1860s-1900s, advancing the field into the digital era.
![ The developments in photogrammetry,from around 1850, have followed
four development cycles [Konecny, 1985]. Each of these periods
extended about fifty years. These cycles include:
Plane Table Photogrammetry
Plane table photogrammetry, from about 1850 to 1900,
Analog PhotogrammetryAnalog Photogrammetry
Using optical, mechanical and electronical components, and where the
images are hardcopies. Re-creates a 3D model for measurements in 3D
space
Analytical PhotogrammetryAnalytical Photogrammetry
The 3D modelling is mathematical (not re-created) and measurements are
made in the 2D images
Digital PhotogrammetryDigital Photogrammetry
Analytical solutions applied in digital images. Can also incorporate
computer vision and digital image processing techniques.
or Softcopy Photogrammetry
”Softcopy” refers to the display of a digital image, as opposed to a
”hardcopy” (a physical, tangible photo).](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/historyofphotogrammetrypresentationcompatibilityto2007-141230100304-conversion-gate02/85/Historical-Development-of-Photogrammetry-5-320.jpg)

- 2. What is Photogrammetry? Photogrammetry is the science of obtaining reliable information about the properties of surfaces and objects without physical contact with the objects, and of measuring and considering this information. The name “photogrammetry" is derived from the three Greek words Photos:- Light Gramma:- Letter or something drawn Metrein:- to Measure called:- “Light engrave data measuring”

- 6. Leonardo da Vinci French mathematician Desargues 1480: The origin of photogrammetry goes back as far as 1480 when Leonardo da Vinci developed the concept of perspective and projective geometry. 1625: French mathematician Desargues defines projective geometry generalizing the use of vanishing points.
- 7. French geodesist Arago Frenchman Laussedat 1840: The first use of photogrammetry was by the French geodesist Arago using a process called Daguerreotype. 1849: Frenchman Laussedat referred to as the “father of photogrammetry” was the first person to use terrestrial photographs for topographic map compilation.
- 8. Nadar obtaining photography from a balloon. Italian geodesist Porro 1858: The first aerial photogrammetry was tested by Laussedat using kites and in 1862 using balloons. 1865: Italian geodesist Porro designed the photogoniometer, this development is significant in photogrammetry because of its application in removing lens distortion.
- 9. Meydenbauer Canadian Surveyor general Deville 1893: Meydenbauer was the first person to use the term “photogrammetry”. 1896: Canadian Surveyor general Deville created the stereo-planigraph: the first stereoscopic-plotting instrument.
