Abstract
While the simplest method of measurement is always to be preferred, under special circumstances the very indirect method of photogrammetry may have advantages outweighing its difficulties; ever since the invention of photography there have been attempts to make use of these advantages. The difficulties of non-topographical photogrammetry are chiefly photographic. An Appendix sets out the principal photographic equipment at present manufactured for non-topographical work. In view of the inflexibility and extreme expense of some of this equipment an argument is made for the use of both “ordinary” cameras and numerical methods. This argument presupposes a suitable means of camera calibration. The paper attempts to give a general, descriptive introduction to a subject which has had little practice in Australia. It is hoped that an extensive, but by no means exhaustive, Bibliography will assist the interested reader.
