Photogrammetric Imaging and Measurement: PIM

Photogrammetric Imaging & Measurement (PIM) has much of its foundations with Leonardo da Vinci’s work on optical perspective in 1492 and Albrecht Dürer’s mathematical treatise in 1525. This is the process of utilizing two dimensional, photographic images to rapidly capture non-dimensional data of objects, structures, buildings and geographic areas and convert it into dimensional data. The accuracy of the process is only restricted to:


 * 1) The quality and resolution of the photographs,
 * 2) Effective triangulation of the captured data point to allow measurement,
 * 3) The use of adequate pattern recognition techniques,
 * 4) The computational resources necessary to perform the two steps above on huge data sets,
 * 5) The adherence to the capture process that permits the melding of all of the data created.
