Abstract

Criteria considered in developing a close-range photogrammetric three-dimensional mapping system and its overall performance are discussed. The system consists of a stereophotographic capability of two cameras with synchronized shutters, a stereoplotting instrument with three-dimensional digitizing capability and a Calcomp plotter. Mapping of human knee-bones (femur and tibia) and perspective diagramming for various attitudes of one bone head with regard to the other are illustrated. The system works off-line with respect to the three principal components. The system is fully operational and is considered very efficient with regard to the current needs. Various possibilities are discussed.
