Popis: The determination of Baade-Wesselink radii and luminosities for pulsating stars are long-standing and highly desired goals since they provide the promise of being standard candles. In a modest contribution towards these goals, we have undertaken a programme to determine the radii and luminosities of the large-amplitude δ Scuti stars DY Herculis, EH Librae and DY Pegasi from optical and infrared photometry and cross-correlated radial velocity data. We use Fourier representations for V, I and J light curves and for the radial velocity curves in Baade-Wesselink analyses to derive minimum radii over the pulsation cycles. These radii and their errors and the mean bolometric luminosities and absolute magnitudes will be discussed here and in papers to follow. As a check, we also apply our method to the data and results of other groups.
