20 microns, it seems that the standard deviations must lie in the range
smaller than 0.14 per mil of the flight height. And if there are errors
larger than this value, it must be resulted by bad identification. Even
it may be said that sometimes our photogrammetric survey exceeds the ground
survey in average accuracy, for it appears that in the case of signalized
identification, the standard deviation of residual errors at controls
grows better for higher flight height. This means that in the case of
lower flight height, the average accuracy of photogrammetry might exceed
that of ground survey. Consequently, the relative errors which are the
aggregation of photogrammetric errors, errors of ground survey and errors
of identification have necessarily some limit in the case of lower flight
height.
The operation of the electronic computer for absolute orientation is
the most difficult procedure in our analytical system. Rejection of a point
not to be used for the computation or reinsertion of the same point,
selection of equation to be used, all the operations have to be done very
quickly, because the time lapses before the computer very quickly during
the operator’s contemplation stopping the computer, and the down time of
the computer will much reduce the efficiency of the computer. Automatic
discrimination by computer is very much difficult in this phase, the causes
of which are mainly the irregular occurrences of mistakes and errors of
various kinds at control points. It needs ordinarily 10 or 15 minutes
for the detection of wrong points by absolute orientation of one strip, and
there is very rarely a case where we find no wrong point. Two or three
times of recomputations often occur before we attain the final result.
By simple instruction of the operator which is the signal of finish
of the computation, computer punches out through the high speed punch
out device all the coefficients of transformation equation finally used
for absolute orientation. This out put tape becomes the input tape of
next program, as already mentioned, with the other tapes which are the
output of the programs 1,3 and 4. The next program is the final program
in which all the results necessary for plotting are given completely.
