Photogrammetry Today A broader variety of applications require geospatial
data
Construction Building status monitoring
Agriculture Natural Research
Cadastre Tourism Archaeology
Planning Forestry Land Use Telecom-munication

Acquisition Processing Analysis Data hosting
Needs to specialize!

Data Acquisition
The application defines the best suited acquisition method and processing routines– Data availability, time for preparation, processing, scale, precision,
area size

Expertise
How much photogrammetric expertise can we expect for a specific application?
Ease of use vs. advanced processing (flexibility) Less interactive possibilities vs. more interactive options to ensure success on more
challenging projects Expert quality assurance required? Less expertise vs. more expertise required

Challenge for software development
How to ensure precision, proof with “low expertise” software?– Application specifies the target precision level and
complexity– Highest accuracy, reliability requires expertise!– We need: More automation, easier workflows with
“expert” mode/tools

Effects on Software Development
Web applications Computer evolution (memory, CPUs,
Clusters...) Demand for complete “vertical” solutions “connected devices” (mobile, desktop...) Combining all data from different sources

Software needs to specialize
According to input data– UAS (large or small)– Aerial Frame– Pushbroom– Satellite– LiDAR– Survey

Software needs to specialize

Necessary Technical Changes
Cameras– Lower geometric quality / stability– Higher resolution– Radiometry– Spectral (e.g. thermal)– Correction methods
Matching Techniques– FBM-LSM-SIFT...SGM
Automated analysis workflows (eCognition) Web-Services
![Page 11: Evolution of Photogrammetry](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56813693550346895d9e1cb5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Inpho technical evolution
How high resolution cameras affect earth curvature corrections– “traditional” way (ASPRS manual of photogrammetry) proposes a simplified formula
e.g. with consideration of a mean terrain height per image, only– Revised formula implemented in INPHO ( see K. Krauss Band2 3rd Edition ) considers
individual height values
K. Kraus Band2 3rd Edition p176 5.4-6Without second term (ASPRS)
Case Hf above ellipsoid delta in micron delta in micron
A 125 0,0871 0,09
B 1125 -1,4808 0,09
C 2125 -3,0487 0,09
Traditional way proved to be accurate enough while resolution of
cameras was still coarser! Corrections would have been about
1/10 pixel
For high resolution cameras, difference gets significant! Corrections range up to about 1 pixel
* A lot of software is not taking care of that fact!

Evolution of algorithms The right algorithm for the right input
– Different characteristics of input data– Different requirements for deliverables– Why is specialized software so important? Example UASMaster:
Characteristics:• Lower geometric quality of
cameras,• Lower quality of
approximations• Larger orientation angles• Lower image quality (smears,
motion blur...)• Larger image scale
(perspectives)
Robustness over speed
FBM
LSM
SIFT...
Characteristics:• high geometric quality
of cameras,• high quality of
approximations• small orientation
angles• Good image quality• Smaller scale

UASMaster is different Fully automatic one-stop solution
(AT/georeferencing, cameracalibration, DTM/DSM, trueortho or traditional orthomosaic)
Optional break-points and parametrization Addtional QA/QC Full stereovisualization and more
manual/automated editing capability
Complete INPHO in one tool, limited to UAS data
Based on adapted and now even more advanced INPHO core algorithms
