possibility to perform the acquisition, measurement, processing and analysis
of data during the occurance of the dynamic processes (or phenomena). In
cases where the dynamic changes are under control of some devices (as in
feedback systems) the real-time photogrammetric image processing includes the
determination of control parameters (or signals) based on the algorithms for
decision making. Typical examples of areas for application of true real-time
digital techniques are medical diagnostics, production control and robotics.
In general the digital photogrammetric instrumentation of this type.and the
associated software based in part on algorithms and techniques of artificial
intelligence, are the elementary components of machine-vision systems for
"intelligent" machines, which are the basic systems for automation of
manufacturing and other processes.
CONCLUDING REMARKS
As can be perceived from this broad-brush review of innovations and
developments, considerable changes in photogrammetry as a discipline are
under way. Notwithstanding the considerable difficulties with reorientation
and reorganization in photogrammetric practice, instrument manufacturing and
education, due to these changes, it is evident that a foundation for future
development of the discipline and its expansion into new areas of application
has been firmly established.
In conclusion it should be noted that the term photogrammetry does not fit
well with a number of new concepts and techniques. It seems that in its
process of evolution the discipline has outgrown its name. In the context of
new developments and areas of activities the term photogrammetry should be
understood to represent a general discipline for image metrology and image
interpretation. :
