Application of Photogrammetry in Forensic Science

This book aims to elaborate applications of the close-range photogrammetry in transportation forensic science and to give examples of such applications. The main characteristics of photographic equipment are described together with guidelines for its use for the photogrammetric measurements. Two types of photogrammetric software calibration procedures and photogrammetric products are presented. In addition four practical applications of the close-range photogrammetry in transportation forensics are given. In the second part is conducted a field experiment of photogrammetric measurement. An intersection is imagined by a non-metric digital camera and measured by two photogrammetric programs. Obtained results are compared and evaluated with measurements from a digital total station.
