Aside from commercial and government applications, IMAGINE Photogrammetry is widely used in academic research.
Research areas include landslide monitoring,[2] cultural heritage studies,[3] and more.
IMAGINE Photogrammetry is generally used for the processing of raw imagery through to the creation of geospatial data products such as digital terrain models, 3D features, and digital orthophotos.
In the context of airborne film cameras, the workflow would involve scanning the imagery (creating a digital version of the film imagery), solving the interior orientation parameters, and triangulating the images.
The system can automatically generate digital terrain models, which can be reviewed and edited in stereo.
