265, 267, 272, 275, 286, 297, 298 and 299. The distribution of the chosen ground
control points is schematically shown in Fig. 1.
It is unfortunate that some of these ground control points left much to be desired
as far as identification is concerned. The choice of the above listed points was made
on the basis of their situation; and we had no idea about the quality of these points
when the selection was made.
Fig. 1
To connect the successive models in each strip, at least three pass points were
selected. The marginal pass points in the adjacent strips also served as tie points
between the strips. Pass points also served to tie the secondary strips to the main
strips.
2.2. Triangulation of the Autograph Wild Al. — The Wild A7 autographs of
The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio, and of Cornell University, Ithaca,
New York, were used to undertake the aerotriangulation of Block Massif Central.
The triangulation was executed according to the « Folgebildanschluss » Method, as
an aeropolygon. The relative orientation was made according to the von Gruber's
Assymetrical Method.
Considerable difficulty was encountered in identifying several test point. The
following points were not identifiable (N.I.) because of the following stated reasons,
and, thus, were not measured:
Points not marked on the paper prints: 1, 2, 44, 45, 74, 75, 76, 116, 117, 151,
152, 156, 196, 197, 233, 234, 235, 269, 270. 271, 285, 300.
Points for which no sketch was provided: 16, 23, 71, 185, 247, 260.
Points not stereoscopically covered: 114, 115, 198.
Points unidentifiable because of vagueness of sketches: 132, 195, 261.
