Overview
Why produce “tips”? Who contributed? Key points? An illustration!
AAG, Seattle- April 2011
Why are “tips” necessary?
Stated activity! Past experiences-
particularly postgraduates seeking advice
Two sets!

Primarily WG Officers
Also notable input from industry!
including:
Marko Tuomien, Datapix Pty Ltd, Queensland, AustraliaStephen Bird, Fluvial Systems Research Inc, Whiterock, Canada
Start simple- start small!
150 small format images of a river channel in Spain- I fly next week and my supervisor doesn’t know about photogrammetry!
AAG, Seattle- April 2011
Common sense!
Familiarisation- techniques and how software works!
Start with: Small test area captured with perhaps two pairs Ideally use a pre-calibrated camera Establish abundant photo control- easy restitution plus checks
Which camera?
All cameras have spatial measurement potential!
AAG, Seattle- April 2011
Digital SLR!
Fixed or variable zoom lens?
Never purchase “top of the range”
Camera calibration
Necessary for accurate spatial data acquisition!
AAG, Seattle- April 2011
Difficulties!
What software? Matlab, PhotoModeler, IWitness, etc.
• camera focal length (f)• principal point offset (xP, yP)• radial lens distortion (K1, K2, K3)• tangential distortion (P1, P2)

Photo acquisition:• Infinity focus/f8
• Fastest shutter speed possible/tripod
• Obtain redundant imagery
Control Don’t skimp! Well distributed Withhold 20% and use as “checkpoints”- RMSE or mean error and
standard deviation?
Visit site prior capture images “in pairs/triplets”
RMSE or mean error + standard deviation?
AAG, Seattle- April 2011
Provide measures of:
• Bias- true reflection of systematic error
• Variation- true reflection of “random error”

Test object- planar test field with added blocks Automated DEM extraction- compare elevations with planar “truth”
Normal imagery convergent imagery!

Normal case
Mean error: 0.4 mm
Standard deviation: +/-0.4mm
Convergent case
Mean error: 0.1 mm
Standard deviation: +/- 0.2mm
