Abstract: In recent years, the technologies of close range photogrammetry have been widely used in
the manufacture of aviation, so the technologies of close range photogrammetry and applications are
studied. This article describes the composition of a close range measurement system and the close
range measuring equipment produced by companies at home and abroad. The taking of measurement
points and the calibration of close range photogrammetry are discussed. The advantages and
disadvantages of close range photogrammetry are summarized. The applications of close range
photogrammetry in the manufacture of aviation are described.

Key words: close range photogrammetry, measurement accuracy, camera calibration, reverse;
manufacture of aviation
