A mensuration apparatus for converting film images and paper drawings into digital photogrammetric arrays to be computer processed, displayed, mensurated and analyzed. This mensuration apparatus includes a table on which a translatable camera and a reseau assembly are mounted. The reseau assembly includes an object mounting plate for mounting an object such as a photograph, map, or the like, and a grid mark system for superimposing grid marks on the object. The translatable camera includes a solid state camera having a two-dimensional array of light sensor elements mounted over the reseau assembly in a translatable mounting apparatus. Said translation camera can be moved to any desired position over the reseau assembly, as well as toward and away from the reseau assembly, forming three coordinate systems, which are correlated together for precise mensuration of an object image digitized by the solid state camera.

Stereo mensuration apparatus, comprising: first object support means for supporting a first object having a first image thereon; second object support means for supporting a second object having a second image thereon; first solid state camera means positioned over said first object support means for converting said first image to digital data corresponding to light intensities of the first object image incident on the first camera means; second solid state camera means positioned over said second object support means for converting said second image to digital data corresponding to light intensities of the second object image incident on the second camera means; computer means connected to said first and second solid state camera means for receiving said digital data from said first and second solid state camera means, storing said digital data, and processing said digital data to a format that can be used to create a visual display of both said first and second images merged together into one image that is a congruent composite of the first an second object images; and display means connected to said computer means for receiving said processed digital data from said computer means and transforming said digital data into said composite merged image in visually perceptible medium.
