A photogrammetry system and method is provided. The photogrammetry system a two-dimensional (2D) camera operable to acquire a 2D image at a first resolution and a second resolution, and a 2D video image at the second resolution. A controller performs a method that includes acquiring a first 2D image of an object with the 2D camera at the first resolution. At least one feature on the object in the first 2D image. An image sequence is determined having a second position. A plurality of second 2D images are acquired with the 2D camera at the second resolution. The 2D camera is tracked. A direction of movement is indicated on the display. A third 2D image of the object is acquired when the 2D camera reaches the second position. Three-dimensional coordinates of the object are determined based on the first 2D image and the third 2D image.
