areas could have been completed using traditional field
survey methods, but even this would have been a major
undertaking. These areas were left incomplete, but
sufficient detail has been represented to satisfy the clients
needs, and if required this detail can be added at a later
stage using the existing controlled photography.
CONCLUSION
Unfortunately most current CAD systems with all the
geometric restraints they impose do not allow for the
efficient production of these 3-dimensional models. This
should not mean that such projects are not undertaken. On
the contrary there are many potential new users of
photogrammetry who create far more challenges and
demand more from photogrammetrists and analytical
photogrammetry than the traditional 2-dimensional map
product. The answer to this modelling problem will not be
easily solved. There are currently some 'solid' modelling
CAD packages available but while it is not possible to
undertake this modelling directly within the
photogrammetric model the advantages are limited.
There is a very real need for the 3-dimensional CAD
model with all its inherent advantages over the
2-dimensional product. It offers a potential new range of
clients in a diverse range of industries. It also
demonstrates that the traditional pigeon-holing of
products to specific industries in this computer age is no
longer valid. By learning more fully the needs of these
industries there is a challenging and diverse future for this
3-dimensional computer modelling by analytical
photogrammetry.
