Photogrammetry Lab


The Photogrammetry was a well established technology in the field of remote sensing and GIS. The ultimate use of Photogrammetry was to generate Ortho-rectified Satellite data and planimetrically controlled toposheets. Our Photogrammetric lab consists of highly equipped fine Photogrammetry systems which are all installed with Leica Photogrammetric suite. The Photogrammetry analysis. Using high resolution and stereographic derived from Multiple sources such as satellite data derived from multiple sources such as stereo aerial images, airborne Lidar data, etc., we can generate contour map, DEM, DTM and prepare urban planning map, Road map, sewage line map, etc which are used to know the 3-dimensional model for the area of interest. It is an important tool to create highly detailed Digital surface models and eventually Digital city models.
