Photogrammetry has been previously validated as an effective technology for documenting both damaged vehicles and scenes [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12]. Modern photogrammetry uses the same photogrammetric principles, but requires less user input and delivers more data points in its solution. Photogrammetry software is capable
Photogrammetry is a cost efficient surveying method for mapping large areas. Photogrammetry may be safer than other surveying methods. It is safer to take photographs of a dangerous area than to place surveyors in harms way. Photogrammetry provides the ability to map areas inaccessible to field crews.
photogrammetry. He developed the analytical solutions to space resection, orientation, intersection, rectification, and control extension using direction cosines. Church, a professor at Syracuse University and one of the founding members of the American Society of Photogrammetry, is referred to as the "American Father of Photogrammetry".

Digital Photogrammetry The digital, or soft copy, photogrammetry systems (Figure 8) are much simpler in design than the analytical systems; they consist of a computer with a stereo-capable graphics system, 3-D glasses with electronic shutters, and a “3-D mouse” as a user interface. The 3-D mouse is a
