historical photogrammetry

Historical photogrammetry is a technique used to analyze and interpret photographs taken in the past to recover accurate measurements and 3D information of objects or landscapes. By examining multiple overlapping images taken from different angles, it allows researchers to create detailed maps, models, or reconstructions of historical sites, artifacts, or terrains. This method is especially valuable in archaeology, geography, and preservation, as it enables the study of historical environments and structures without physical contact, often providing insights into their original appearance and dimensions based solely on archival photographs.
