Title: Lesson 1: Introduction to photogrammetry and stereo images
Course: Photogrammetry applied to drone image acquisition > Section: Course Content

This lessons introduces the basic concepts related to photogrammetry. This lesson will explain what the definition of photogrammetry, the basics of image geometry and the associated distortions, and the basics of stereoscopic viewing and how to use the same concept to measure and extract 3D information from imageries.
