Course contents :  The theoretical part of the course will be devoted to the construction of three-dimensional models (after reviewing the different ways of handling a single photograph). In succession, we will examine empirirical analog procedures, digital analog procedures, analytic procedures and the creation of epipolar images.
The "Applications" part deploys techniques of analytic stereophotogrammetry by making us on one hand of manual measures, and on the other hand assisted measures (scanned photos). We will calculate the interior orientation, the relative orientation, and the absolute orientation of a model. Students will then be able to calculate X, Y, and Z coordinates for every point at which the image is present on two photographs taken from different points of view. Epipolar images are generated as well as representations of stereoscopic scenes by the anaglyphic image method.
Course objective :  To make students aware of the interest and the possibilities offered by the use of photography or electromagnetic recordings, in order to position points or objects in three dimensional space.
Prerequisites :  Students should have an understanding and good spatial vision of phenomena, a good knowledge of geometry, some knowledge of matricial calculus and a good understanding of how to use a computer. These skills will be helpful in the class.
Organization :  As soon as the necessary theoretical elements of the class have been explained, the part of the class devoted to practical work will continue in parallel with further explanations of theory.
The classroom will be equipped with a multimedia projector for presenting slideshows (Power Point). Calculations required for exercises must be performed using computer techniques through the successive application of modules that will be developed and made available to students.
Written notes :  Theoretical notes written by the author will be made available to students at the beginning of the class.
Practical notes related to exercises will be handed out at the appropriate time.
Assessment :  Grading will be based on an oral examination covering the theoretical part of the course. A report written to go along with practical exercises will also figure in the grade.
