cantilever extension and bridge, in which 25 pass points per photo were used
for the triangulation; and (b) Test Cases 11, 13 and 14 in which rejection
criteria of 0.008, 0.008 and 0.005mm, respectively, were used to eliminate
points in which plate coordinates had the largest random errors.
Control and pass point layouts and a summary of discrepancies in Test
Cases 9-1^ are illustrated in Figure 3.04 and Table 3.02.
C. TESTS USING ACTUAL PHOTOGRAPHIC DATA
A limited amount of testing was performed with the Arizona Test Strip 7.
This strip of photography extends approximately 17 miles and is at a scale
of 1:20,000. Photo coordinates were measured on the Nistri TA-3 stereo
comparator and were corrected for lens distortion and differential film
distortion.
Computations were performed only through the stages of relative
orientation and triplet assembly so that plate coordinate residuals and the
standard error of unit weight of the triplet relative orientations could be
examined Results are tabulated in Table 3.03 for 15 photographs of Strip 7*
