process of adding "ground control" points and computing coordinates and angles for camera position
Each pair of photographs used for 3D compilation must have at least three "ground controls" (premarked targets surveyed in user defined coordinate system) within area of overlap between centers of each photograph. Block aerotriangulation procedures minimize need for these premarked targets. Known X Y Z position and corresponding angles of rotation of a camera for each exposure provide sufficient information for georeferencing images in orthophoto production.
Since results from block aerotriangulation represent the basis for any further mapping and ortho production, it is considered one of the most critical preparation tasks.
Starting with carefull selection of the area for a new point, it is first marked on a contact print
and then precisely transferred onto the diapositive.
Emulsion of the diapositive is 'scratched' to form a perfect circle, typically 60 microns in diameter.
Once all points are marked and transferred, each
stereopair is measured on our First Order Analytical plotter
Collected data is processed with BINEM, simultaneous block aerotriangulation adjustment program, resulting in final coordinate values for each measured point, as well as spatial position of each projection center.
Results, residuals and final adjusted coordinates, are presented in a tabular form, as an ASCII file.
