Steps:

 

Commands:

1.

Use the Import pane to select and import the station and reference photo data into your project.

To make a photogrammetry measurement, your project must include two or more stations, each with referenced photo images of the same object. It is important that when you make a photogrammetry measurement, you use observations that provide good geometry.

 

Import

2.

Use the Options dialog to specify various settings that control the behavior of the interface when you are making a photogrammetry measurement.

3.

Use the Project Settings dialog to specify intersection and strength of figure tolerances that, if exceeded, cause an out-of-tolerance flag to display with photogrammetry points. Also, specify the maximum length for line-of-sight rays displayed in graphic views.

4.

Use the Measure Photo Point command pane to measure and create new photogrammetry points.

5.

View photo station data, along with photogrammetry observation and point data, in the Project Explorer, the Properties pane, and the various graphic views. Right-click any photogrammetry point to view the Point Derivation Report, which includes photogrammetry intersection information. Also, view photogrammetry point and observation data in the Photo Point Spreadsheet.
