Photogrammetry is a field of science and technology that deals with mapping the shapes of objects, their sizes and their mutual position in space. The basis for its operation are photographs, called photograms, which allow the creation of 3D models of a given object.

Practical applications of photogrammetry include:

• Creating maps where it is a data source.
• Geodesy , as a tool supporting the measurement of large areas and distances.
• Determining the dimensions of objects , which is crucial in many fields of science and technology.

Photogrammetric photos are usually taken using special, large-format photogrammetric cameras equipped with lenses free of aberrations. However, thanks to the dynamic development of photographic technology in smartphones, photos taken with a mobile phone can also be used as photograms.

Photogrammetry is therefore not only an advanced technology, but also a tool available to anyone who has access to modern photographic devices.
