processor and frame buffer.
The Video Library allows the user to :
- initialize all registers.
- grab an image, store the digital values in the frame
buffer or on disk and display the image on a monitor
for one or both cameras.
- manipulate lookup tables.
- obtain the digital value associated with a defined
pixel.
- continuously receive and display images of one camera.
- create graphic primitives, such as lines and points.
8.4 GP1 Graphic Peripheral Library
The GP1 Library allows the user to control the GP1 plotting
table :
- select on-line or off-line mode.
- connect given points with straight lines or curves.
- select line types, select, scale and rotate symbols
and text.
- draw full and partial circles and spirals.
- define a table window and origin.
- select pen speed, pen number and pen position (up or
down).
- obtain table coordinates of a point.
- download user defined symbols.
9. External Software
Software has been written by DSR users which either use the
Kern photogrammetric equipment directly or interface to outputs
from KERN software. Some of these software packages are
available to other DSR users e.g.
CRISP, a close range photogrammetry package for the DSR from
the University of Graz which includes
- project management.
- set up of metric and non-metric photography.
- bundle adjustment.
- programs for DTM collection, profiling, on-line
compilation.
BLUH, a bundle adjustment system from the University of
Hannover, which directly uses the output from the Kern AETRI
Aerial Triangulation System as input to the adjustment. BLUH
includes
- initial value computation.
- error detection.
- additional parameters.
- analysis of results.
