Abstract

A. Laussedat is considered to be the father of photogrammetry. In 1851, using the method of the Swiss mathematician J. H. Lambert (Freye Perspective, Zürich, 1759), he reconstructed a recorded object from two photographs. He called the method "Metrophotographie", and the result was years of research into constructions based on a topographic table and a camera obscura. According to the available literature, the term photogrammetry was first used in science by W. Jordan in 1876 for the professional field of "indirect measurement of spatial objects using photography". From 1883, mathematician G. Hauck published a series of articles in which he researched and analysed two projections/perspectives on the basis of descriptive geometry. Already in the title of the first and in the text, the term "Photogrammetrie" appears as a generally accepted term. Today, in the Croatian scientific classification, Photogrammetry is a branch in the field of Geodesy, a scientific field of Technical Sciences.
