Alongside Aimé Laussedat, Albrecht Meydenbauer (1834-1921) was one of the founders of photogrammetry as a scientific measuring method. He was particularly involved in architectural photogrammetry (including a true-to-stone image of Meissen Cathedral in 1898) and also coined the term 'photogrammetry' for a method of extracting reliable and accurate three-dimensional information from image data.(further information)
