ABSTRACT
The predominant type of imaging used for civil engineering applications is the traditional 23-cm format frame aerial photograph. Photogrammetric and remote sensing techniques can be equally applied to satellite images and to close-range images acquired from small format cameras. The main contributions of photogrammetry and remote sensing to civil engineering include topographic mapping, orthophoto production, planning, environmental monitoring, database development for geographic information systems (GIS), resource inventory and monitoring, and deformation analysis.
