An Integrated Photogrammetric System with Metric Digital Camera and Total Station

This paper presents several new issues of an integrated photogrammetric system: photo total station system (PTSS), which was first presented on the XXth ISPRS that installs metric digital camera on total station together with digital photogrammetric software. Because of the automatic obtainment of the photos´ exterior orientation elements during the observation with total station, true non-contact measurement can be possible. The main focuses are on comparison with other similar instruments, New offset calibration method, Panorama mosaic and building reconstruction, 3D reconstruction with control photo and software design
