  1. Close Range Photogrammetry Chris Hart CEE498 Experimental Methods

  2. Outline • What is photogrammetry? • Types of photogrammetry • How it works! • Necessary equipment • PhotoModeler (Photogrammetry software) • Civil engineering applications • Accuracy of close range photogrammetry • Conclusions and Challenges

  3. What is photogrammetry? • Photogrammetry – A remote sensing technology whereby geometric properties about objects are determined from photographic images • The fundamental principle behind photogrammetry is triangulation • Two Parts • Photography – Photographic principles are required to gather images • Metrology - Techniques used to produce 3-dimensional coordinates from two-dimensional photographs.

  4. Types of Photogrammetry Aerial Photogrammetry Close Range Photogrammetry

  5. Equipment • Digital Camera • High resolution camera (preferred > 7 MP) • Lens/Camera have been calibrated • Targets • Retro-reflective targets • Coded targets preferred • Circular targets • Hard-body tooling targets • Software • PhotoModeler • There are many other software packages which may include specific applications

  6. Civil Engineering Applications • 3D coordinate information about a test setup • NEES Wall Project • 3D surface rendering for FEM modeling (NURBS surfaces and curves) • Precise measuring of 3D points in space for measuring relative strains/displacements (Still being developed, but promising)

  7. PhotoModeler • Has ability for sub-pixel marking • High contrast circular targets can be more accurately targeted • Programmability: Use a DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange) interface to control certain functions in PhotoModeler and to have data fed in through other Windows applications such as MatLab! • PhotoModeler Video (PMV)

  8. Photogrammetry Accuracy

  9. Conclusions and Challenges • Powerful tool for gathering full field 3D coordinate (non-contact) information about an object or test structure • Cheap compared to advanced real-time full field measurement systems such as Krypton • Requires a lot of user knowledge and experience • Post processing is not fully automated and time consuming
