Photogrammetry or Remote Sensoring

Greetings,

while stormforce winds attempt to lift the roof over my head and play a vital role towards occaisonal insomnia, as autodidact, I am constantly trying to learn something new about photography and came across Photogrammetry, and I thought this might be of interest:

Here is an example for such a camera:

1851: Only a decade after the invention of the „Daguerrotypie“ by Daguerre and Niepce, the french officer Aime Laussedat develops the first photogrammetrical devices and methods. He is seen as the initiator of photogrammetry.

1858: The German architect A. Meydenbauer develops photogrammetrical techniques for the documentation of buildings and installs the first photogrammetric institute in 1885 (Royal Prussian Photogrammetric Institute).

1866: The Viennese physicist Ernst Mach publishes the idea to use the stereoscope to estimate volumetric measures.

1885: The ancient ruins of Persepolis were the first archaeological object recorded photogrammetrically.

1889: The first German manual of photogrammetry was published by C. Koppe.

1896: Eduard Gaston and Daniel Deville present the first stereoscopical instrument for vectorized mapping.

1897/98: Theodor Scheimpflug invents the double projection.

1901: Pulfrich creates the first „Stereokomparator“ and revolutionates the mapping from stereopairs.

1903: Theodor Scheimpflug invents the „Perspektograph“, an instrument for optical rectification.

1910: The ISP (International Society for Photogrammetry), now ISPRS, was founded by E. Dolezal in Austria.

1911: The Austrian Th. Scheimpflug finds a way to create rectified photographs. He is considered as the initiator of aerial photogrammetry, since he was the first succeeding to apply the photogrammetrical principles to aerial photographs.

1913: The first congress of the ISP was held in Vienna.

until 1945: development and improvment of measuring (=„metric“) cameras and analogue plotters.

1964: First architectural tests with the new stereometric camera-system, which had been invented by Carl Zeiss, Oberkochen and Hans Foramitti, Vienna.

1964: Charte de Venise.

1968: First international Symposium for photogrammetrical applications to historical monuments was held in Paris - Saint Mandé.

1970: Constitution of CIPA (Comité International de la Photogrammétrie Architecturale) as one of the international specialized committees of ICOMOS (International Council on Monuments and Sites) in cooperation with ISPRS. The two main activists were Maurice Carbonnell, France, and Hans Foramitti, Austria.

1970ies: The analytical plotters, which were first used by U. Helava in 1957, revolutionate photogrammetry. They allow to apply more complex methods: aerotriangulation, bundle-adjustment, the use of amateur cameras etc.

1980ies: Due to improvements in computer hardware and software, digital photogrammetry is gaining more and more importance.

1996: 83 years after its first conference, the ISPRS comes back to Vienna, the town, where it was founded.
