Digital Imaging systems, including those used in modern satellite programs, scanners for digitizing photographic images, and digital image processing techniques are new topics to be covered that are fundamental to soft copy photogrammetry.. The first new edition in 13 years incorporates recent changes on the subject of streamlining from advances in computers. Their ever increasing speed and storage capabilities have directly led to an entire new approach in photogrammetric mapping known as “Soft-Copy” photogrammetry
"If you can afford only one book on photogrammetry calculations and procedures" according to calvinnme. get this one. And believe me you can probably only afford one modern text on the subject, they are all so expensive.This book is quite good at explaining the calculations as well as the qualitative concepts of photogrammetry. It starts out explaining simple lenses and cameras, coordinate systems, the basic geometry of imaging, and continues through with calculations for stereo images. Even basic digital image processing is not neglected - nothing fancy mind you, but basic digital imaging kernels are discussed as well as histogram techniques for contrast enhancement, which is often a problem for aerial photographs. How to determin. Book Review: Elements of Phtogrammetry This book is substantially revised from the previous edition in 1983, some 17 years ago. Consequently, new topics are added, particularly on GIS and digital photogrammetry. The appendixes on least squares adjustment, co-ordinate transformations, collinearity equations and digital resampling are particularly useful.This book is clearly one of the best ones around in the area of photogrammetry. The chapters are properly organised and the concepts are explained clearly.Of course, every book has to focus on its intent and target audience. The authors did this with flying colors. If there is anything missing in the current photogramme. M. Zummo said Elements of Photogrammetry. I bought this book for a class I was dreading and so far the book is my favorite part of this class. This book is written in a plain and understandable way. It has so far been a great tool for studying photgrametric principles.
