Photogrammetry "is the art, science, and technology of obtaining reliable information about physical objects and the environment",[1] using recording, measuring and analyzing electromagnetic energy and other phenomena. The images used for analysis are typically obtained by remote sensing, although it need not be long-range sensing; photogrammetric methods can be used to validate and interpret short-range photographs. Closely related fields include geographic information systems, imagery intelligence, geodesy, and geospatial intelligence.
