on actual photography. For each of the 21 cases listed in Table
IV, two independent values (using two operators) were determined
for each of m. and m. No significant change in the experi-
mentally determined valeues for m and m, was evident and,
therefore the following values were adopted for all the cases
investigated:
2.04 (m, = 7.0"), and
2. (n, 78.3).
3.7. 1967 Series of Experiments
A test area was established on one of the plastered
brick walls of one of the photogrammetry labs. An area of
2 x 2 meters was covered by two types of targets: Crosses
and circular targets (Fig. 25). A cross and a circular target
were placed side by side in 32 different locations throughout
the test area. The spatial relative position of the various
points were determined on the basis of a trilateration (on the
face of the wall) combined with a triangulation (using three
theodolites to intersect each target simultaneously). An ar-
bitrary coordinate system was chosen and the X,Y, Z coordinates
of every target were then determined. Our ZEISS SMK-40 was used
for data acquisition. Normal cases with base length other than
40 cm, as well as the convergent and tilted cases were simulated
using only one of the SMK chambers at a time (Fig. 26). The
distance and angles in Table IV were reconstructed. For each
case five (5) independent stereo coverages were obtained.
The investigation was planned to be performed in the
following phases:
a. Precision of determining X, Y, Z object coordinates
of the cross targets.
Precision of distance determination between cross targets.
