Definition

A photogrammetric product is a representation of aspects of a scene derived from imagery of the scene. The representation may be geometric and include point coordinates, object geometry or measurements, or other attributes derivable from image geometry. In some cases, qualitative object properties may be added onto the basic geometric data.

Historical Background

Traditionally, photogrammetric products meant hardcopy maps depicting elevation as contours and features as lines. With the advent of digital softcopy photogrammetry for production and the widespread adoption of GIS to utilize cartographic data, emphasis has shifted almost exclusively to products in digital...
