Date of Distribution: 01 December 2023 Name of Faculty: Er. Akhil Pandey

SUBJECTIVE QUESTIONS BL
Basic terms & Definitions, scale
Q1) What do you mean by photogrammetry? Also explain the application of photogrammetry. 2
Explain the following terms:
a) Perspective Projection
b) Exposure Station
Q2) c) Fiducial Marks 2
d) Principal point
e) Nadir point

Relief displacements of a vertical photograph, height of object from relief displacement

Q3) Derive an expression to obtain scale of a vertical photograph. A vertical
photograph was taken at an altitude of 1000 m above MSL. Determine
3
the scale of photograph for terrain lying at an elevations of 100 m if the
focal length of the lens is 20 cm. [AKTU-2019-20]
Q4) Why, we provide overlap in vertical photography? And also define the term drift and crab. 2

Flight planning for aerial photography

Q5) The scale of aerial photograph is 1:10000, effective an average elevation of terrain of 500m.
The size of aerial photograph is 240mm X 240 mm. Focal length of camera lens is 20 cm.
Speed of aircraft is 180kmph, longitudinal overlap is 50% and side overlap is 25%. Determine 3
the number of photographs required to cover an area of 35 km X 25 km. Also determine
exposure interval and flight height.
Q6) Determine scale of photograph for terrain lying elevation of 60m and 200m if vertical
3
photograph was taken at altitude of 1200m. Take focal length of camera as 20cm.
Q7) A camera having focal length of 250 mm is to be used to take a vertical photograph of a
terrain having an average elevation of 2500m. At what height above the datum, the air craft 3
should fly to have a photograph at a scale of 1:6000.
