Table II shows an Aerodist controlled strip, 28 models long,
adjusted by the procedure described above, employing vertical
ground control at the beginning and end of the strip. Vertical
control in the center of the strip was not used in adjustment,
but to test the accuracy of the method.
Table III shows an Aerodist controlled strip, 15 models long,
adjusted in the same manner as the strip in Table II. The scale
of photography in both coses is 1:29,000. It is interesting to
note that residual errors on control points in the middle of the
strip (not used in adjustment), are of the same magnitude as the
residuals on projection centers determined from statoscope and
employed in adjustment.
Table IV illustrates a reverse situation to that of Table II
and III. It shows the results after block adjustment, of a strip
of 25 stereomodels, scale of photography 1:40,000. But in this
example four bands of vertical ground control were used in adjust-
ment. The elevation of projection centers were not utilized.
The residuals on projection centers are, therefore, differences
between the height of projection centers computed from stato-
scope and those obtained from block adjustment employing four
bands of vertical control. Please note that in all tables the
values of X, Y are in meters and of height in feet.
In the above examples the vertical ground control consisted
of elevations of water bodies established by repeated APR flights.
Tables II, III and IV show results of aerial triangulation with
statoscope chosen at random from a project consisting of some
