GPS CONTROLLED PHOTOGRAMMETRY FOR LARGE SCALE MAPPING

This report describes a study which is a response to the safety concerns of surveyors while locating ground points within the right of way using ground survey methods. The study focused on investigating the feasibility of using Global Positioning System (GPS) supported aerial triangulation. This technique would minimize the need for ground control and possibly eliminate the need for locating ground control points within the right of way.
