The arrows indicate the direction of flight. Note that the elapsed time between
the exposure of the reference picture and the exposure of the measured pictures
h in
is as much as 3 n 38 n and yet this time difference did not affect the accuracy of
the determination of . The accuracy, both in 'p and LO , is remarkably high.
The maximum difference between the 'p and UJ determined in this way from
horizon pictures and the values of *p and Uj determined from absolute orienta
tion on ground control is only 5 C . The mean square errors are:
m^> = _2 (based on 20 comparisons)
L- 0
m<ju = _ 2 (based on 6 comparisons)
7.2.2 Accuracy of General (j) Derived from Statoscope and Horizon Camera Data
The inclination of the base was determined from the statoscope data,
as well as by the procedure described in section 4.3.1 for utilizing the horizon
camera data. The comparison of these values with the general <^) determined from
absolute orientation of the stereo models from ground control gives the following
standard errors of general :
(a) determined from statoscope
(b) determined from horizon camera
■ - 5C
m£ = Ì2.8 C
Using the average base distance for the photography of the project, the above
values are equivalent to an error in elevation of il2.5 feet (^3.9 metres) and
