The Application of Photogrammetric Survey ... the Great Ceiling at Peterborough Cathedral

ensure that the accuracy ot the colour balancing can match that of the image geometry. However the image files generated have been 
manageable within standard off-the-shelf drafting packages by the conservators themselves and have been easily combined with line 
data from a number of sources to produce the required composites. Therefore it is safe to say the great ceiling at Peterborough 
Cathedral has now been successfully surveyed using a combination of both traditional and modern photogrammetric survey 
techniques.
