The photo‐radiation method of terrestrial photogrammetry was introduced in 1981 as an appropriate means of rapidly surveying large areas of open ground, primarily beaches. Since that time, several variations on the standard method have been tested. These have arisen from attempting to solve problems associated with particular situations. For instance, the use of the waterline as a means of contouring developed from a problem where a dangerous river bank was inaccessible for traditional survey observations. Another application concerned laboratory testing where photogrammetry is particularly attractive for measurement due to the coverage which is possible, together with the advantage that permanent records remain on film for later re‐analysis. Both these variations in the photo‐radiation method are described, together with an indication of the circumstances under which they have been successfully applied.
