Fic. 2. Close-range photogrammetry using absolute position controls.
Fic. 3. Close-range photogrammetry using distances in object space as
controls.
À computer program called SAPGO-A?!, which was developed at the University of Illinois
at Urbana-Champaign primarily for the purpose of analytical aerotriangulation, can accom-
modate the wide variety of conditions illustrated in Figures 2 to 6. SAPGO-A is the acronym
for Simultaneous Adjustment of Photogrammetric and Geodetic Observations— version A. Its
formulation is based on the principle of observation equations as described in the above
paragraphs. It has the unique capability of using geodetic measurements as controls in the
