Figure 6: Orientation of image using visible pipe-edges and known position of pipe-segments
Onscreen digitizing of exterior orientation in a space assignement plan of the plant.
Onscreen digitizing of points near the pipe-edges and searching for the edges with Hough-transformation (Fig. 3).
Selecting the correspondant pipe-segments from the as-built-model superimposed in the image.
Starting orientation procedure.
Superimposing the plant-components after orientation as a visual verification of the process.
This orientation method should be applied only to single images using reliable geometric data from edges or pipes. It
would be preferable in future to integrate orientation of images by plant-features directly into bundle adjustment algo-
rithms. This will reduce also the amount of passpoint and tiepoint targets to be fixed in the plant and consequently reduce
the time to spend in the plant.

Figure 7: Digital image and shaded as-built model with same orientation generated from ABANICO
The methods and tools presented in this paper are integrated into a prototype close-range photogrammetric system called
ABANICO? developed at the Technical University of Clausthal. The tools have been proofed to be valuable in various
pilot projects within the University and also within plants of the chemical industry (Bürger, 99).
