Photogrammetric Solution for Vehicle‐Damage Investigation
Publication: Journal of Transportation Engineering
Volume 118, Issue 6
Abstract
When searching for an operational system for vehicle‐damage investigation, photogrammetry is found to provide a practical solution. A system is designed featuring low capital investment and operational cost as well as providing simple operation and requiring only a minimum of data‐handling procedures. This photogrammetric system is based on the stereo‐camera concept and the enlarger‐digitizer procedure. It utilizes primarily inexpensive off‐the shelf components for both data acquisition and evaluation. This paper describes the system, its components, and operation. The results of a number of practical cases are presented and compared to those obtained by conventional means.
