In addition to a number of digital cameras for general photography the
Center has a 10.2 mega-pixel Nikon D200 and two 6.1 mega-pixel D70 digital
cameras. A variety of fixed and zoom lens for these cameras have been calibrated
and are available stereo and convergent close range applications. Commercial photogrammetric software
and advanced bundle adjustment software developed at CAST can be applied to extract very precise dimensional
information. Fusion of traditional photogrammetric solutions with laser scanners has been shown to be an
effective strategy (Wehr and Wiedemann, 2000) and software developed by Prof.
Jack Cothren is used to fuse the Nikon imagery with the Optech ILRIS scans.
