Description of the course

Photogrammetry is a technology whose purpose is to study and precisely define the shape, dimensions and position in space of any object, essentially using measurements made on one or more photographs of that object. This technique is increasingly replacing other more expensive and complex techniques such as laser scanning for metrology, as well as for obtaining topographic maps of surfaces.

This very short course provides an introduction to photogrammetry and presents the main applications, with a special focus on its performance in defence environments. The current state of the technology and the challenges it faces are also presented.

Objectives

To learn the basic concepts of reverse engineering and, specifically, of photogrammetry and its applications in defense. Accurately define the shape, dimensions and position in space of any object.

Pre-requisites

No previous knowledge is required, but it is advisable to have some knowledge of reverse engineering, 3D scanning or photography

This programme is focused on:

• University students (Master degree)

Learning outcomes:

• Possesses expertise in computer assisted design and reverse engineering, specifically photogrammetry (K1).
• Possesses specialized knowledge of the technologies and software used with photogrammetry (K2).
