Telephotogrammetry lies on a system architecture establishing a 
close link between a hand-held device, the Mobile and 
Geographical Imager, and a Processing Center specialized in 
post-processing of acquired images and coordinates. 
Requirements for software and hardware were studied. 
Nowadays, it is possible to find commercial on the shelf devices 
that provide functionalities required by telephotogrammetry 
services. Personal Digital Assistant or smartphones associated 
with positioning, imaging and networking equipment can be 
mentioned. However, no single integrated tool exists and 
software development compatible for specific platform is 
required. Moreover several limitations still impedes on the 
development of such services. Imaging sensors require higher 
resolution; positioning sensors a better positional accuracy along 
with higher miniaturization; networking devices a faster data 
transmission; storage devices a higher capacity and visualization 
devices a faster 3D engine.
