Summary:
Guidelines for the photogrammetrical documentation of architectural and urban heritage.
- photogrammetry applied to the study and conservation of historic centres;
- notes on creating an architectural photogrammetry service in developing countries.
Assessment of the application of photogrammetry to the study and conservation of historic centers indicates that the best scale falls within the 1/2,000 to 1/8,000 range. A section titled "Notes on the creation of an architecture photogrammetry service in a developing country" details the types of equipment available for photogrammetry (metric cameras, plotting and rectifying equipment), relates the type of survey undertaken (simple, detailed and exact, archaeological) to equipment requirements, and outlines staff requirements and organizational schemes for photogrammetric services.
