Step 2 may be omitted in all further operations as long as the same image
separation is maintained and the same stereoscope is used. As the stereoscopic
slope of the Supplementary Slope Model has a fixed parallax, any instrument
measurements of this exaggerated angle of slope will be similar. lt is only the
angle of true slope that this model represents in relation to diff erent focal lengths
and/or photo bases that will vary. This change of angle of representative slope
can be obtained from the table on the right member of the Supplementary Slope Model.
(Example: If at a fixed separation and using the same stereoscope a consistent measure
ment of the Supplementary Slope Model is 47°, then for photography with a focal
length of 6 inches and a photo base of 3.5 inches this exaggerated angle of slope would
represent a 15° angle of true slope. Fora focal length of 8% inches and a photo base
of 3.2 inches this same measurement of angle of slope can be used and would represent
a 22° angle of true slope.)
3. Determine the exaggeration factor by referring the selected true angle
of slope of the Supplementary Slope Model and the exaggerated measured angle of
slope to the Slope Conversion Chart. All vertical lines on the chart represent degrees
of true slope, all curved lines represent degrees of exaggerated slope, and all horizontal
lines represent various exaggeration factors. To determine an exaggeration factor,
locate the intersection of a line representing a true angle of slope with one representing
an exaggerated angle of slope; and read the horizontal line representing an exaggeration
factor. (Example: if a true angle of slope for the Supplementary Slope Model is 20° and
the exaggerated angle of slope is 55° as measured by the Stereo-slope Comparator, the
exaggeration factor would be 3.9).
