points. For each camera used in the calculation of
object points, a sub-matrix Q; is defined as:
Q i 0 0
Q = D "Tg (40)
0.0
where Q i is the cofactor matrix from equation (34) of
the computed parameters for camera with index i. The
ones in the diagonal is due to the fact that the mea-
sured image coordinates of the used check point have
unit weight. The resulting Qj matrix for k cameras is:
Q
Q = 2 = (41)

In order to estimate precision, the standard deviation
o is calculated for each of the coordinate components
of the check points. The diagonal elements q;; of the
cofactor matrix QC. in equation (38) have been used to
calculate o:
s-«Yd = VE (42)
where 69 is set to 1.
The standard deviation have been calculated for each
check point in the grid of figure 2. In order to get a
value for comparison of case A, B, C and D in table 2,
the mean deviation has been computed for each of the
coordinate components, i.e. G,, G,, G, see table 4 and 5.

cameras. See table 2 for case A, B, C, and D.
Figure 4 Shows the mean deviation in the X-compo-
nent, 0,, for case A, B, C, and D. The mean deviations
of the Y-component gives the same relative difference
for case A, B, C, and D.

To get an idea of the internal reliability the correlation
of the residuals resulting from the calculation of trans-
form parameters can be studied. Figure 6 shows an
average of the correlation values of the residuals for
the four cases A, B, C, and D. Correlation is calculated
from Oo, in equation (29) and (33) by:
Qi;
= a (43)

lity is
