Aerial photogrammetry is provided by using two or more flying vehicles, each equipped with a GPS device and an image pickup unit. This method comprises setting up two or more photographing points and setting up a photographing point area, respectively, with each of the photographing points as the center, measuring a position of the flying vehicle by the GPS device, a step where each of the flying vehicle reaches each corresponding photographing point area and maintains the position of the photographing point area, acquiring a time when the flying vehicle finally reaches the photographing point area, setting up a shutter timing time after a predetermined time from the moment when the flying vehicle has finally reached the photographing point area, and taking aerial photographs by the two or more flying vehicles at the shutter timing time.

An aerial photogrammetry by using two or more flying vehicles each equipped with a GPS device and an image pickup unit, comprising: setting up flight courses for each respective flying vehicle,setting up two or more photographing points on each respective flight course, andsetting up a photograph
1. An aerial photogrammetry by using two or more flying vehicles each equipped with a GPS device and an image pickup unit, comprising: setting up flight courses for each respective flying vehicle,setting up two or more photographing points on each respective flight course, andsetting up a photographing point area respectively with each of the photographing points as the center,making the two or more said flying vehicles fly by maintaining a predetermined distance between them,measuring a position of each of said flying vehicles by said GPS device,after each of said flying vehicles reaches each corresponding photographing point area, maintaining the position of each of said flying vehicles in said photographing point area until all of said flying vehicles have reached said photographing point area, acquiring a time when the last of said flying vehicles finally reaches said photographing point area,setting up a shutter timing time after a predetermined time from the moment when the last of said flying vehicles has finally reached said photographing point area, andtaking aerial photographs by synchronizing two or more of said flying vehicles at said shutter timing time. 2. An aerial photogrammetry according to claim 1, wherein a base control device is installed on ground surface side, said two or more flying vehicles determine whether said two or more flying vehicles have reached within said photographing point area based on positions of said two or more flying vehicles as measured by said GPS device, a reaching time is acquired by said GPS device, a GPS time as acquired is transmitted to said base control device, said base control device calculates a shutter timing time according to the GPS time finally received from said two or more flying vehicles, and in a case where the GPS time acquired by said GPS device coincides with said shutter timing moment, an aerial photograph is taken by said two or more flying vehicles. 3. An aerial photogrammetry according to claim 2, wherein a distance between said photographing points is ⅓ or more of an altitude, and said photographing point is set up so that overlapping ratio between the images taken will be 60% or more at said altitude. 4. An aerial photogrammetry according to claim 1, wherein a distance between said photographing points is ⅓ or more of an altitude, and said photographing point is set up so that overlapping ratio between the images taken will be 60% or more at said altitude. 5. An aerial photogrammetry according to claim 1, wherein said two or more flying vehicles take still images while flying along a flight course as set up for each of the flying vehicles, two or more photographing points are set up along said flight course, a distance between said photographing points is set so that still images acquired at each of the photographing points will be at least 30% of a sidelap, a 3D model prepared is connected by tie points extracted by sidelapping, and a wide-area 3D model is prepared. 6. An aerial photogrammetric system, comprising: two or more flying vehicles each equipped with an image pickup unit, a GPS device, a flying vehicle control device, anda base control device which is installed on ground surface side for setting up a flight course for each respective flying vehicle and for setting up photographing points of said two or more flying vehicles on each of the respective flight courses at a predetermined distance and for setting photographing points area with said photographing point as the center,wherein said flying vehicle control device makes two or more flying vehicles fly by maintaining a predetermined distance and makes the flying vehicles fly in said respective corresponding photographing point area based on the position of the flying vehicle measured by said GPS device, maintains said flying vehicles within said photographing point area in a case where said photographing point area is reached, further, transmits time of said GPS device to said base control device, said base control device judges a time point of when the positions of said two or more flying vehicles are finally within said photographing point area in a case where positions of all of said two or more flying vehicles are within said photographing point area, transmits a time after elapse of a predetermined time from said time point to each of said flying vehicle control devices as a shutter timing time, and said image pickup unit takes images at said shutter timing time. 7. An aerial photogrammetric system according to claim 6, wherein said flying vehicle control device transmits position information and GPS time as acquired by said GPS device to said base control device, said base control device determines said GPS time of when the last of said two or more flying vehicles reaches said photographing point area based on said positional information and said GPS time, transmits a time after predetermined time from said GPS time as said shutter timing time to said flying vehicle control device, and said flying vehicle control device makes said image pickup unit to carry out taking images when said GPS time obtained from said GPS device coincides with said shutter timing time. 8. An aerial photogrammetric system according to claim 7, wherein said flying vehicle control device makes each of said flying vehicles fly along a flight course as set up for each of the flying vehicles, a predetermined number of photographing points are set up on each of said flight courses, and in a case where still images are acquired at corresponding photographing points on each of the flight courses, said flying vehicle control device makes said image pickup unit take images at said shutter timing time. 9. An aerial photogrammetric system according to claim 6, wherein said flying vehicle control device makes each of said flying vehicles fly along a flight course as set up for each of the flying vehicles, a predetermined number of photographing points are set up on each of said flight courses, and in a case where still images are acquired at corresponding photographing points on each of the flight courses, said flying vehicle control device makes said image pickup unit take images at said shutter timing time.
