What is Softcopy Photogrammetry?
Also known as digital photogrammetry, softcopy uses manual and automatic techniques for capturing, processing, and analyzing digital imagery—beginning either by scanning analog film or by direct digital image capture. The core concepts and mathematical functions remain the same as in traditional photogrammetric techniques developed over the past 100 years; the main difference is that softcopy uses digital imagery. The capability of handling image data of various sources with different geometric properties in a single workstation makes the system powerfully versatile and productive.
