Les nuages de points photogrammétriques (NPP) obtenus par appariement stéréoscopique de photographies aériennes peuvent dorénavant atteindre une résolution comparable. Dans ce contexte, cette recherche vise à évaluer le potentiel pour décrire la structure verticale et la composition forestière d'une forêt boréale utilisant un NPP en comparaison au lidar. 2, record 1, French, - nuage%20de%20points%20photogramm%C3%A9trique

Photogrammetric control consists of any points whose positions are known in an object-space reference co-ordinate system and whose images can be positively identified in the photographs. (...) Photogrammetric control, or "ground control" as it is commonly called in aerial photogrammetry, provides the means for orienting or relating aerial photographs to the ground. 1, record 4, English, - photogrammetric%20control

According to Betty Fleming of the Topographical Survey Division, EMR, and Professor Ladouceur of the Department of Photogrammetry of Laval University, "ground control" and "photogrammetric control" are not synonymous, WOELE notwithstanding. A photogrammetric control point is usually an artificially identified point in an aerial photograph, whereas a ground control point is a point established on the ground by a survey party. 2, record 4, English, - photogrammetric%20control
