Digital Photogrammetry: Fields of applications

We offer optical 3D measurement techniques. Simplified this can be seen as measurement in images where "measure" means here the capturing of three-dimensional point co-ordinates. Of course, in a single image you can only measure two-dimensional co-ordinates (x,y). But, if two or more images exist from an object, each taken from slightly different positions, the methods of (stereo-) photogrammetry used here enable a three-dimensional survey of the object. The collected data can for instance be exported to and post-processed by Geo Information Systems (GIS).

Our programmes thus measure not directly at the object but in images of the object. The outcome of this are several system-related advantages:

  • The touchless measurement method permits measurements at sensitive, smooth, liquid or even gaseous objects (e.g. footprints in the snow, clouds)
  • Measure in images means that the objects themselve must not be accessible (e.g. attainable hard or only for short time).
  • It is even possible to survey objects which no more exist but from which images exist (e.g. buildings which were destroyed in a war)
  • With two synchroneously activated digital cameras also fast moving objects can be surveyed (e.g. wave surfaces, animals, crash tests in automotive engineering)
  • The method is relatively independent from the size of the object: From parts of the earth's surface (with aerial or satellite images) to very tiny objects (exposures using a stereo microscope) a lot is possible
  • Also well suitable for the own production of aerial images using micro drones or kites and a digital camera (UAV photogrammetry)
  • The images are an optic-metrical archive of the moment they were taken – at any time measurements are possible, even long time later
  • Also the images enable a stereo documentation; already simple anaglyph representations give a good spacial impression (3D images / red-green spectacles)
  • Last but not least the often time-consuming surveys take place independent from weather in the office.
