The Development of GPS Controlled Photogrammetry within the COE

Jon Burgess, Jim Collins, Jim Lucas, Jim White

Abstract:	The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’s (USACE’s) Topographic Engineering Center (TEC), the NOS and Photo Science Inc. (a private photogrammetric contractor) are cooperating in the joint research and development of an operational Global Positioning System (GPS) Controlled Photogrammetry (GCP) system. The intended use for the envisioned system is in support of USACE conventional large scale civil works mapping projects and reducing the costs -- manpower, time and money -- of such activities. The purpose of the joint research and development is to share the costs of development of such a system and to transfer government developed. technology (i.e., GCP) to the general public for the benefit of all. This paper will summarize the results of several experiments conducted under this multi-phase effort, as well as planned future activities to complete successful transfer of this technology from the government to the private sector.
