What is Photogrammetry?

Photogrammetry is a technique that uses photography to measure and record the exact positions of surface points. In the context of flight simulation, this means capturing high-quality images from various angles and using them to create precise and photorealistic 3D models of geographic areas and objects.

Reykjavik, the heart of Iceland's cultural, economic, and governmental life, offers more than just scenic views; it is a hub of activity and history.
