Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A technical occupation that extracts three-dimensional information of terrain and objects from images such as aerial photographs or drones, and creates maps and 3D models.
Description
Photogrammetry technicians use images acquired by aircraft, drones, or ground cameras, generate point clouds or orthoimages using photogrammetry software, and create terrain models and maps. They provide high-precision spatial data through ground control point setup, calibration, and image georeferencing processing. Integration with GIS and CAD enables use in various fields such as urban planning, civil engineering design, and disaster analysis.
Future Outlook
Demand is expected to expand with the普及 of drone surveying, digital twins, and smart cities, and skills in collaboration with BIM/CIM will be required.
