E-Foto: an educational photogrammetric workstation

Abstract

This paper shows our experience at the Rio de Janeiro State University (UERJ), in Brazil, developing and using the E-Foto software, one of the main achievements of the E-Foto project that aims to built-up a software tool for teaching digital photogrammetry and software development, to both graduate and undergraduate students, in the fields of Cartographic and Computer Engineering. E-Foto main objective is to diminish the gap that exists nowadays between the teaching of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing in universities and Research Institutions of developing countries and the high-tech expensive systems that are used under the production environment.
