Evalutaion of geometric potentials of digital and anolog aerial cameras in terms of photogrammetry

Photogrammetry helps us to mapping of great fields or hard terrains and producing ortophoto maps. By the way, technological developments make easier applications done, because of these, photogrammetry, takes more part in our subjects.The progress in kinematic GPS technologies make possible taking of photographs and reducing of geodesic preparations also more speedy the photogrammetric workstations. To make the subject more understandable, we went through at progress session of photogrammetry. First of all, it was introduced the photogrammetric systems used in this study and it?s digital image and quality, and then, examined the connections between object space and image coordinates and bundle block adjustment.It has been given comprehensive information about cameras for photogrammetry and adapted specifications of Zeiss/Jena photogrammetric analog camera and Vexcel photogrammetric digital camera used in this study. At least, it was given an information about Inpho Match-AT program, and presented the procedures of the study.In this study, it was aimed to determine the performance of Zeiss/Jena analog photogrammetric camera and Vexcel digital photogrammetric camera each of one. Digital and analog photographs taken recently of the same area were used with 20 control points measuring by GPS in these photographs. In the stage of application, AT and bundle block adjustment studies made by Inpho Match-AT program.It has been tested the project prepared with digital and analog photographs according to control and balance points, and created there dimensional deviation vectors between aerial and image coordinates. The maximum deviations in X, Y, and Z axis for each balance operations were determined using these vectors we. With these vectors, it were determined the maximum deviations in X, Y, and Z axis for each balance operation in digital cameras.At least, it has been compared these results with other camera combinations and reached the geometric linear analysis. It has ended this study with the comparison of digital and analog camera?s results.Keywords: Digital camera, analog camera, geometric accuracy, bundle block adjustment.
