Photogrammetry, mapping the geometry of an object using photographs, or stereo photographic pairs
Photogrammetric drawings relating to research for the exhibition can be found on the CASA website at Bath University.
The basic idea of Photogrammetry is to look at points (coded and uncoded) from different directions and to calculate the 3D coordinates of these points from the images or point rays thus obtained.

Robbins’ scientific publications covered a wide field in Geodesy and Photogrammetry, with outstanding contributions to knowledge in Geodetic Astronomy and the design and development of the Chronochord (printing crystal clock).
While the initial release of LPS (called "Leica Photogrammetry Suite 8.7") was in late 2003, it was a combination of new technology as well as software previously developed by ERDAS (which was acquired by Leica Geosystems in 2003).
Starting in 1855 I. Porro began developing instruments for photogrammetry.
