STUDYING THE FEASIBLTY OF TOTAL STATION IN ARCHITECTRAL SURVEY AS COMPARE TO THE CONVENTIONAL CLOSE-RANGE PHOTOGRAMMETRIC TECHNIQUE

Abstract

In this work, the total station survey and the analytical photogrammetry, were uesd in architectural photogrammetry.In this stue, a test site was used for the comparison between the total station survey and the analytical photogrammtry and for experimental determination of the accuracy of the total station survey .Two facades fiom the test site were photographed with a metric camera, using single and. convergent photographs. The accuracy of both the close range photogrammetry and the total station techniques in architectural surves was detrmined by, comparing the obtained coordinates with the original check points coordinates of the test site. The results indicated that, the total station technique results are conform with the correspond close range photogrammetric results, but more economic and simple to applied
