Software Photogrammetry

Photogrammetry is the "art, science and technology of obtaining reliable information about physical objects and the environment through the process of recording, measuring, and interpreting photographic images and patterns of electromagnetic radiant imagery and other phenomena" (ASP 1980).

Technological developments mean that it is now possible to obtain such information from digital images using photogrammetry software, rather than using a stero plotter and photographic prints.
