| Abstract: | The heights of buildings in the city centre of Glasgow have been measured by photogrammetric methods. A comparison of the heighting accuracy with ground checks obtained by the use of a reducing telemeter indicates the possibilities of achieving accurate results by means of photogrammetric instruments and methods. An attempt to present the third dimension of the city on paper has also been made with the Stereosimplex He and the Perspektomat coupled together to form a drawing system. It is hoped that this approach can be further developed so that it will be of use to town planners, urban geographers and others with an interest in the rapid collection of accurate data about cities. |
