MS-16 (RSGS)

This is a graduate level course on Photogrammetry, which deals with measurement of 3D/geometric information from photographs/Images. This course provides introduction to imaging geometry and then covers topics related to orientation of multiple images together with extraction of 3D information. Special focus will be given to generating Digital Surface Models (topographic modeling) from stereo images. These images may be acquired from airborne or space borne imaging sensors. The main topics for generating surface models are: stereo geometry and image matching.

An introduction to computer vision techniques for automatic extraction and detection of corresponding points in images will be presented. Towards the end of the course, a brief overview on laser scanning and 3D cameras will be presented.
