Abstract
Photogrammetry is an engineering discipline and as such heavily influenced by developments in

computer science and electronics. The ever-increasing use of computers has had and will continue
to have a great impact on photogrammetry. The discipline is, as many others, in a constant state of
change. This becomes especially evident in the shift from analog to analytical and digital methods.
There has always been what we may call a technological gap between the latest findings in
research on one hand and the implementation of these results in manufactured products; and
secondly between the manufactured product and its general use in an industrial process. In that
sense, photogrammetric practice is an industrial process. A number of organizations are involved in
this process. Inventions are likely to be associated with research organizations, such as universities,
research institutes and the research departments of industry. The development of a product based
on such research results is a second phase and is carried out, for example, by companies
manufacturing photogrammetric equipment. Between research and development there are many
similarities, the major difference being the fact that the results of research activities are not known
beforehand; development goals on the other hand, are accurately defined in terms of product
specifications, time and cost.
Introduction:
PHOTOGRAMMETRY
Photogrammetry is the use of photography in surveying and mapping. It is used to measure

distances between objects, and photogrammetry software can utilize images to create 3D
renderings. While in its early days it was used mostly for topographic mapping, it’s recently been
used in a number of unexpected ways. photogrammetry software is so efficient, we are seeing more
and more businesses across industry lines taking on this technology for themselves. This tech
development is allowing the application of photogrammetry in the never-before thought of ways
that make daily life easier for those in these industries.
Creation of a new Photogrammetry Map -
Steps of the tutorial are designed to create a simple and clean map.
• Brief introduction on user interface, functions of the software
• Open geographical data.
• Change projection
• • Import a spreadsheet
• Join a spreadsheet to a geographical data
• Styling the map
• Creating a legend, titles and other graphical adjustments
• Export in different format.

PROCEDURE FOR DEVELOPING PROGRAMMETRY MAP
 INSTALLING QGIS
You can download setup for file for QGIS using following link in Google. After downloading
the setup file, execute the file and install the software simply clicking “Next” for all dialog
options.
 DOWNLOAD COMMON OPERATIONAL DATASET
CODs are core sets of data to be used in GIS software. Set includes administrative
boundaries, populated places, road and river infrastructure of the country
 DOWNLOAD PROVINCIAL BREAKDOWN DATA OF SYRIAN INDIVIDUALS
Data, created by DGMM, downloadable also from our IM Toolkit (link provided below).
Includes province names, related p-codes and population of Syrian Individuals.
 REMEMBER GIS DATA MODELS Vector data model:
A representation of the world using vertices or points, connected vertices or lines, and closed
connected vertices or polygons. We will use the data of administrative boundaries and
province centers.
QGIS GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE START QGIS:
1. Open the 'Desktop GIS' folder.
2. Double click on the 'QGIS' icon.
You will see QGIS launch with an empty project. The various parts of the QGIS Interface are
listed below.
 Menu bar:
Access to various QGIS features using a standard hierarchical menu.
 Toolbars:
For interaction with the map, layers, attributes and selections.
 Browser Panel:
A spatial file browser allowing drag and drop content into the map frame.
 Layer Panel:
Controls the map layers, their order, and visibility.
 Status Bar:
General information about the map and access to a universal search bar.
Using these five areas, you can add a data layers, zoom to a specific area in the data,
hide or show relevant layers and see the coordinates, scale and projection of your
displayed map.
CREATE MAP
To create a new project, choose Project ‣ New.

ADDING A LAYER
To load a dataset, start QGIS and click on the Layer>Add Layer and, Add Vector Layer or
simply press ctrl+shift+v (cmd+shift+v). This will bring up a new dialog:
When File option selected as Source type, hit Browse, and look for
“tur_polbnda_adm1.shp” under Separated Files/Admin Boundaries folder.
About the QGIS project:
1. First download the Quick map services plugin in plugin management.

2. Then add the Photogrammetric map on to the display and then locate to the required
location in the map.
3. Next open the new print layout and then add the map with low resolution with a
particular scale and then add another map with high resolution with different scale.
4. The highly resolved map is then framed and the grid is added on to the map and then
the latitudinal and longitudinal values are added to the map with the help of the
software.
5. Then the scales are added to the respective maps and then the naming’s are done as
shown in the map pdf.
ADDING A SCALE BAR:
To add a title or text box to your map, hit Add new scale bar and draw a rectangle for your scale
bar anywhere you like. To change the properties of the scale bar, use the Main properties and
change the visual settings from Style and Segments from Item properties menu at the right
hand-side.
USAGE OF PHOTOGRAMMETRY IN VARIOUS FIELDS: -
As information becomes increasingly spatially aware, there is no shortage of tools able to

fulfill some or all commonly used GIS functions.
 Real Estate -As so many home buyers are relying on an online listing to find new homes, real
estate agents are tasked with the challenge of creating striking visuals about their properties.
Modern drone and photogrammetry techniques make it easier to create clear, accurate images
of homes without spending extensive time or money. A buyer is more likely to consider a how
they can see from all angles clearly. This creates a virtual buying experience that we haven’t
seen before in the real estate market, but it’s a cost-effective way for both buyers and sellers to
cut down time a home is spent on the market.
 Land Surveying -An industry that’s been booming in the past few years is land
surveying. Land surveying is a way of using science, measurements, and technology to
determine the surface of the Earth. This information is used by construction crews, architects,
and even local governments to decide property boundaries, building planning, or just data
analysis. Land surveyors can utilize photogrammetry to make more accurate measurements.
This research can be applied in broader ways, benefiting the entire community.
 Engineering-Since photogrammetry is so dependent on accurate measurements, it is no
surprise that one of the first industries to adopt this technology is engineering. When
building complex structures, buildings, or other feats of technology, everything needs to be
as accurate as possible. By using photographs from drones, engineers are able to evaluate a
construction project on a step-by-step basis to ensure everything runs smoothly. Another valuable way to
utilize this technology in this industry is to show clients and construction workers perspective images.
With regards to 3D renderings, it’s easier than ever to create in-progress visuals or prospective results.
Various Applications of Photogrammetry:
Since QGIS is free and open-source software, it is very much useful in various applications some
of the applications are as follows:
1. Forestry
2. Mining
3. Oil & Natural gas exploration.

4. Agriculture
5. Administration
FUTURE SCOPE FOR Photogrammetry: -
QGIS allows users to write, modify source code. It makes the applications of QGIS widespread.
QGIS integrates with other open-source GIS packages, including PostGIS, GRASS GIS, and Map
Server. Plugins written in Python or C++ extend QGIS's capabilities.
