ments could be done either stereoscopically or monocularly.
There is a number of stereocomparators and monocomparators
currently commercially available.
In the reduction of data in the analytic approach, the
basic formulation derived for aerial photography could be
utilized. Basically such a reduction involves the following
phases (Moellman and Karara, 1967):
a) Image coordinate refinement
b) Formation of the stereomodel
C) Absolute orientation
d) Adjustment of coordinates
e) Precision and accuracy of parameters and coordinates.
2.2.3. Comments on the Analogue and Analytica! Approaches
A. The choice between one approach and another is often
influenced by the nature of the problem. For example, if the
measurements needed refer to areas rather than discrete points,
then consideration should be given to the analogue approach.
B. The most important advantages of the analytic approach
over the analogue approach is increased accuracy of measurement
and increased flexibility of the procedure. According to Wasil
(Wasil et al, 1965), the accuracy of the analytical approach in
stereometric systems is estimated to be about five (5) times
better than that of the analogue approach. Furthermore, with
an anlytical method of solution it is generally possible to
incorporate redundant data and apply an adjustment by least
squares with its obvious advantageous features of checking
blunders, and weighting of observations.
