valid for the case that the torsion of a strip is not of mere appearance,
but of confirmable as a systematic reality.
The residual errors at major controls are, in strict sense, the
relative errors between photogrammetry and ground survey. And there are
the errors which belong neither to photogrammetry nor to ground survey,
the errors of identification. So there are three different kinds of
errors or mistakes which have to be detected in the phase of absolute
orientation. In our system detected results are at once fed back to the
corresponding section, and inspections and remeasurements will be made
thoroughly for the point concerned. This system was much effective for
the improvement of the quality of the results. Of course the final results
can not be improved without the improvements of each branch of operations,
the measurement, the identification aad the ground survey. And the pro
gresses of each branch were being made step bystep separately but not at the
same rate. The steady progress might not be made without the quick feed
back of mistakes by computer, and it revealed that, although the progresses
of the separate branches are not uniform, but always are drawn up by the
progresses of other branches. Because, as the progress of the final
results of absolute orientation can only be made with the uniform and
balanced progresses of each branches, the delay of progress of one
particular branch is always pointed out as peculiar.
There is one thing to be mentioned here about the identification of
major control. Identification is a very important operation in photo
grammetry without which the photogrammetry could not be useful in practice.
In spite of the fact, this procedures are very frequently being the main
cause of errors which bring into the whole system confusions. As well
known, even in the case where there are signals at controls, there often
occur misidentifications. And in the case when the identifications
are done by pricking in the field, very many times we are confused by the
troubles caused by the misidentifications by pricking. The identification
is a difficult operation and often it is recommended that the operator
have to be selected from the skillful photogrammetrist, but in our
factory it was difficult to pick up skillful photogrammetrist from the
operator of plotting machines, and very long time it got into a habit that
the work of identification by pricking shall be put into the domain of field
surveyor, ignoring the importance of the operation. The introduction of
analytical system completely exposed the inadequacy of the system
adopted hitherto. And after excited discussion the work of identification
