The art of measuring objects from the photographs or imageries for industrial use is called Industrial Photogrammetry . Industrial Photogrammetry is applied in construction areas, engineering fields and also for research in these fields.
The object whose measurement is taken for Industrial Photogrammetry may be in different forms like solid, liquid or gaseous state. Architectural Photogrammetry and biostereometrics are two subfields of Industrial Photogrammetry . Repetitive use of the word ‘ Industrial Photogrammetry ‘ plays an important role in capturing the attention of expert or ordinary photogrammetrist and instrument creators to this useful area of utility of Photogrammetry and also attracts attention of many industries.
Economic Advantages of Industrial Photogrammetry :
- Time is saved. The object is measured directly from the photograph instead of going to the field. Ninety to ninety five percent time is saved in Industrial Photogrammetry .
- For measuring the object in the field, labor capacity must be increased. Industrial Photogrammetry not only saves time but also saves labor and manpower.
- Machine and time required for blade machining is decreased as the rate for removal of metal reaches its optimization level through Industrial Photogrammetry .
- Through optimization of metal molding, the expenditure required for manufacturing propeller casting is also reduced.
- Due to Industrial Photogrammetry , time for recycling is also saved because the time required for recycling of non-ferrous metals is reduced.
- For manufacturing propeller the production time is reduced with the help of Industrial Photogrammetry .
Industrial Photogrammetry is also used in those industries where work-pieces of a complex configuration are built. A lot of time is required for measuring such work-pieces and the measurement is done with the help of traditional tools available for measuring. A survey of some chosen application in industries involving metal works has assured that Industrial Photogrammetry is beneficial both economically and practically. A system approach is needed to follow for initiating and implementing the methods which will inquire upon costs involved in initializing, operations and other equipments used in Industrial Photogrammetry .
Industrial Photogrammetry Applications:
- Construction of Automobile: Industrial Photogrammetry is required in Automobile Industry. The measurement of different autoparts can be done from the photographs and the measurements can be implemented in making of automobiles.
- Mining Engineer: Industrial Photogrammetry is used by the engineer for making measurements of the mining sites and other related measurements of the mining regions. Each and every measurements will not require to go to the field when there is Industrial Photogrammetry .
- Machine Constructions: The industries engaged in making machines also make use of Industrial Photogrammetry .
- Moving Objects: This is an important application of Industrial Photogrammetry .
- Shipbuilding: Industrial Photogrammetry is used by the industries engaged in ship building. Different measurements are made by using Industrial Photogrammetry which makes the work easier.
- Structures and Buildings: Industrial Photogrammetry is used by the engineers or builders or construction companies to save time as well as manpower.
- Traffic Engineering: Industrial Photogrammetry plays an important role in traffic engineering. For example constructing flyovers would require measurement of roads which can be measured easily by Industrial Photogrammetry .
In the coming decades more and more industries will employ Industrial Photogrammetry .
