Technical terminology for the photogrammetric community

Abstract

The editorial team of The Photogrammetric Record has long felt the need for standardised photogrammetric terminology, in order both to eliminate inconsistency within individual authors' work and to maintain consistency within the publication over time. To this end a guidance document was produced in 2000-2001 for internal use only. After a succession of revisions this is now published for the first time. It is hoped that, as well as helping authors to prepare papers for submission to the Record, the present list may become widely accepted or, failing that, may lead to correspondence, revision and ultimately a consensus which will be to the benefit of photogrammetrists and those who publish their work worldwide. © 2007 The Author.
