DTMCOR, a program usin the Kern correlator's hardware, is
available to allow the automatic measurement of regular grid
DTM data, within user defined areas.
For processing results, a contour interpolation program, CONTUR
is available which uses grid or profile data as input, and may
also include break line information.
8. Software Libraries
To aid the development of software by both Kern and the
customers, a number of libraries of subroutines have been
developed.
The libraries which are available to customers are written in
both PASCAL and FORTRAN. Both the source code of the library
subroutines and the library object code are delivered.
All libraries, and in fact all of the Kern software, are
independent of restrictions with regards to connection of
devices to the main processor, as the user may define his own
addresses and vectors for any device to suit his particular
hardware configuration.
8.1 P2 Plate Processor Library
The P2 Library allows the user to control the stages of the DSR
analytical restitution instrument :
- select movements of stages (upper stage only, both
stages parallel etc.).
- drive stages to a point by plate, model or ground
coordinates.
- obtain current position in plate, model or ground
coordinates.
- profile along a vector between user defined start and
end points.
- send image orientation parameters to the plate
processor
8.2 Utilities Library
The utilities library, which is delivered with the P2 plate
processor library, allows the user to read the orientation
parameter files, and thus coordinates may be transformed
between any systems, e.g. model to ground, and the DSR stages
may be driven in any of these coordinate systems.
8.3 Correlator Video Library
The Video Library can be used when correlator equipment is
mounted on the DSR analytical plotter i.e. cameras, analogue
