A photogrammetric image processing apparatus and method defining a plurality of pairs of images including a common target as belonging to the same groups (pairs), providing an image display area and drawing area on the screen of the display device, calculating valid mapping ranges for the pairs to , and displaying the valid mapping ranges on the drawing area. When an arbitrary point is designated using a cursor in the drawing area, paired images corresponding to one of the valid mapping ranges containing the designated point are displayed in the image display area. Physical points corresponding to the paired images are designated, so that the three-dimensional coordinates of physical points are calculated, and a survey map is generated based on the three-dimensional coordinates.
