This paper will discuss strategy of photography according to structure and particular geometric shapes of objects for achieving aims of 
the project. Indeed, there were a number of issues and problems which interfere the process of project. This paper will evaluate these 
problem and will explain methods of overcoming these issues. Next section will discuss the strategy and methodology of the project. 
Problems and issues will be evaluated at the third section. Conclusion and results will be given at the fourth section. 
2 Methodology 
This section will explain methodology of project for achieving aims. Atkinson (1996) explains close range photogrammetry and its 
application broadly. Despite aerial photogrammetry, image acquisition in close range photogrammetry quite different and in most cases, 
images are highly convergence. The main aim of this project was to produce maps from those objects; therefore, method of image 
acquiring and photography should be support this aim. Stereo photography is a best and simplest method for map compiling from 
photographs. Consequently, stereo photography method was used in this project and it was tried to acquire non-oblique photographs. 
Indeed, camera axis was normal to the object all the times; however, there were some exceptions. 
A HASSELBLAD 553EL/M was used in this project. However, this camera supplied with a 100 mm ZEISS lens which is a high 
quality lens with minimum distortions, it was tried any stereo photograph had at least 8076 coverage for compensating depth error. For
