Nowadays is a possible to implement numerical simulation and photogrammetric inspection to the complex process chain of inspection. In the recent years there has been significant progress in accuracy improving of these methods of inspection in pre-production or post-production stage of manufacturing. This article discusses these two methods from sensitivity and comparison point of view. Most attention has been paid to the photogrammetric method and his sensitivity to using different approaches. Results were compared with the result of numerical simulation and experiment. Numerical simulation was performed in static implicit finite element code Autoform. For this purpose, GPS cover of galvanized steel of DQ category was used for inspection. In this paper was proved that photogrammetric method of strain measurement is highly sensitive on the various external factors. Further results and findings are included in the next chapters of this paper
