'The backbone of analytical systems consists of various numeral and procedural concepts to represent relations amidst points in the object, their corresponding images and operational procedures to cultivate specific problems. Analytical photogrammetric procedures may be considered along three operational stages, from each one invol ving specific instruments (Fig. 6. 1), viz. , those utilise for learning of image data (mensural), those used for data-processing and analyses (computational) and those used for display or presentation of the results.In determine of the above, we would study the historical developments firstly with escort to the concepts and next with regard to the instruments and their potentials for the emerging. A numeral archetype, in expressing the relevant concept, provides sagacity into the vestigial chain of events. There is no closed book about the way in which this insight is achieved. The mathematical models slang no scientific value unless they construct been validated adequately by experience and research. Scientific verification is an openended process. As a mathematical model is successfully tested and used, it becomes established.Otherwise it stands to be changed, change or simply dropped. We have witnessed this through the historical development of analytical photogrammetry. Furthermore, photogrammetry being an applied science, it is the content and not the flesh of the mathematical statement (language) that matters some. Thus we have noticed that mathematical and operational concepts have been adapted to circumstances without really changing the basic contents. The following sections would highlight the abstract developments without going into personal . details.Hauck (1883) established the kind between projective geometry and photogrammetry_ This should be considered to be the most fundamental geometric concept and the tail of most classic analytical photogrammetric developments. Ernst Abbe, the cofounde r of the German Zeiss Works in 1871 started intense studies and tests for visual elements on the basis of rigorous mathematical analyses. F. Stolze discovered the principle of the directionless tick off in 1892 while Carl Pulfrich also of the Zeiss meeting developed a practicable method of measuring and deriving spatial dimensions from stereo-pholographic images with floating marks.He presented in 1901 the ZeissPulfrich Stereocomparator by supplementing Eduard von Orels (1877-1941) first exemplar Stereoautograph at the 73 rd Conference of vivid Scientists and Physicians held at Hamburg. Separately, a ssimilar stereocomparator was invented in 1901 by Henry G. Fourcade (1865-1948) of South Africa. He presented this at the Philosophical Society of Cape Town. Sebastian Finsterwalder (1862-1951) in a series of publications during 1899 to 1937 established a very sthrong foundation for analytical photogrammetry.In these he brought about the geometric relations which enjoin resection and intersection as well as relative and absolute orientations. He predicted the future possibility of nadir point triangulation 311 and the applicatian af phatagrammetry to. astrageadetic measurements. He also. farmulated the basic laws af errar prapagatian in lang strip triangulatians. He was prabably the first persan to. use vectar terminalagy in phatagrammetry lit (Finsterwalder 1899, 1932). Eduard Dalezal 1862-1955) af Vienna, Austria pravided great internatianal driving spirit as he became the faunding President af the Internatianal Saciety far Phatagrammetry in 1909. He also. created the Internatianal Archives af phatagrammetry. viz. , the good af auxiliary data and instruments in clubhouse to. avoid propagation of systematic errors in strip triangulation and the practical advantage of development wide-angle cameras. Heinrich Wild (1877-1951) presented in 1926 at the Second International Congress at Berlin his modified plotter prototype know as Police Autograph.\r\n'
