ielped him design better artificial limbs for amputees maimed during the
American Civil War.
About the same time, the French physician G. B. A. Duchenne
(1806-1875) of Boulogne made measurements from photographs of his
deformed patients and during the 1880's extensive
stereophotogrammetric studies were performed by Etienne Marey
(1830-1904) and co-workers in Paris and by Eadweard Muybridge
(1830-1904) in the United States.
Brook Taylor (1685-1731), Lambert (1728-1777) and others made
important contributions to the geometry of perspective imag
he eighteenth century, but it was not until 1839 that Francois Arago
786-1853) and Louis Joseph Gay-Lussac (1778-1850) pointed out the
possibility of producing photographic maps. The practical beginnings of
ologrammetry, in which stereophotogrammetry plays such a
lay, are usually credited to the French officer Aime

a
ravels in the early 1850s. In 1859, he constructed the first

during his
topographic camera, the phototheodolite, and five years later he
completed a photographic map of Grenoble. About the same time, the
German, Albrecht Meydenbauer (1834- 921), risked his life to make
nieasurements on the cathedral at Wetzlar which prompted him to
consider the use of stereophotogrammetry to enhance his. longevity ——an
auspicious thought since he established the Roya! Prussian Institute for
ve
Photographic Surveys in Berlin some twenty-five years later.
Notwithstanding these substantial beginnings, photogrammetry
"proper" is considered of more recent vintage, dating from around the
turn of the century when Jordan, Stolze, Finsterwalder, Sterm, Hauck,
Reed, Deville, Fourcade, Porro, Koppe, Pulfrich, von Orel, and
Scheimpflug, among others, developed the theoretical foundations and
instrumental concepts which opened the modern era of
photogrammetry. Those interested in obtaining more details about the
underlying concepts and methods of photogrammetry will find useful
information in a variety of general texts, e.g. Zeller (1952), Schwidefsky
(1959), Hallert (1960), Moffett (1967) and the American Society of
Photogrammetrv Manual of Photogrammetry (1966), to mention a few,
