METHOD OF IMAGE ERROR PRESENTATION
A comparison of the effects of various sources of
image geometry changes by means of root mean square errors
is customary (e.g. in [44] and [53]). However, these changes
often cause systematic components not eliminated from the
r.m.s. errors, In this paper, a different approach will be
taken. The relative size of various image errors will be
shown in veetor-graphs. The majority of these graphs was
attained in evaluating wide angle photography taken at a
scale 1:10000 over a test area, pre-exposed grids and cameras
calibration plates. The photography to be discussed was
taken simultaneously using two reseau cameras equipped with
a register glass reseau ([72],[69]), a Wild RC8 Reseau camera
and a Zeiss RMK AR 15/23 camera.
All sources of changes in measured image coordinates
which can be controlled using such a reseau are indicated
in Pig. 1, with heavy lettering.
For a comparison of the relative size and importance
of the image geometry changes it is not necessary to specify
the scales used as long as all graphs are produced using one
scale for the location of image points and one for the vector
lengths.
In most cases, a linear conformal or similarity trans-
formation of the measured values to the known point positions
was applied. The reason for this is twofold: firstly, a
change in focal length to accommodate a scale change of the
