for the eccentricity. The readings were immedeately recorded on punched cards
and checks and computations were programmed. The scale of the co-ordinates is
defined by a 2 m invar bar. The instrument used was a Wild T3 theodolite.
The overall accuracy of the co-ordinates is estimated as a spatial standard
error vector of 0.07 mm.
8.1.2. Fiducial transformations
The corners of the picture were used as fiducial marks. Their so-called given
co-ordinates were simply measured on an arbitrarily chosen picture. Even
though these co-ordinates are not free from error, they still serve as a defini
tion of the image co-ordinate system. The main results of the computations are
shown in Table 4. Using Bartlett’s test 1 ) on the standard errors of unit weight

angle cameras. The plane close to the wall contains a large number of evenly distributed
points.
