Elements of Photogrammetry with Application in GIS, Fourth Edition

Benjamin Wilkinson, Paul R. Wolf, and Bon A. DeWitt

The new edition of this definitive photogrammetry text covers the latest technological advances in this evolving field.

Essential for students and professionals, "Elements of Photogrammetry with Application in GIS" covers both the basic foundational principles of photogrammetry as well as important advanced concepts and applications. In the ten years since the previous edition was published, there have been numerous technological advances in photogrammetric sensors and processing methods.

This fully updated edition covers all of these developments.
