Abstract 
The Stereomat correlation system.- formerly attached to projection type 
instruments, has now been adapted to a modified Wild B-8, By utilizing 
separate scanning tubes for each photograph, raster sizing as a function of 
degree of correlation, and raster shaping to account for photograph geome 
try, orientation, and terrain slope, superior performance is obtained. The 
instrument performs automatic relative orientation, profiling, and contour 
ing, In addition, while operating in the profiling mode, an orthophotograph 
can be developed on an attached printing unit.
