tions of the error vectors computed at check points
for four different experiments. These check points
were located near the outside edges of the tunnel mo-
del where no displacement was expected. The overall
mean (dr) and standard deviation (oy) of the error
vectors amounted 0.04 mm and * 0.10 mm respectively,
which are in excellent agreement with the results ob-
tained from the displacement-free test discussed in
the above paragraph. Thus, it can be concluded that
the present instrumentation and procedure can yield
an accuracy of * 0.15 mm in measuring the movement
vectors of the sand particles. It can also be con-

cluded from Table 1 that the x and y components of
particle movement can be measured with an accuracy of
about + 0.1 mm and + 0.07 mm respectively.
CONCLUSION
Through the use of analytical photogrammetric tech-
niques and a non-metric camera, a solution has been
developed for an otherwise very difficult measurement
problem. The method is still being refined and im-
proved, and the advantages of a metric camera in such
an application is also being investigated.
