the capability of conducting interior, relative and absolute
orientation very much faster by semiautomatic procedures
the setting of a point by previously recorded ground-, model-,
or photo coordinates
the use of the plotting table as automatic coordinatograph
with all plotting software consequences (points, lines,
symbols, curves)
the storage of elevation sequences of grids, in profiles or
of coded points and lines for the generation of DM's or for
use in automatic cartography.
The utilization of these capabilities for photogrammetric tasks
will only be useful if the system of the photogrammetric processes
starting from data collection via data input to end product
(point coordinates, DIM, map, orthophoto) is considered. To im-
prove the ease, reliability, speed or accuracy of the operation
process by an analytical plotter special task oriented programs
must be available.
To generate such task oriented programs two prerequisites must
be fulfilled:
1. the operational capabilities and thelr steps must be pro-
grammed in modules
Figure 5
such modules should be small enough for documentation on one
page in form of a Structogram used in "structured programming"
Figure 6
In this type of programming certain rules must be observed,
whether the programming is done in compiler (orientation
routines) or in assembler (usually real time operation)
(no Go To's may be used)
the modules must be fitted together for a certain task.
For this type of task-programming 3 applications have been
made at the T.U. Hannover:
a) the use of the A.P. as terrestrial plotter;
the orientation elements are computed via input conditions
of directed lines, fixed angles, fixed parallel distances
b) the use of the A.P. as aerial triangulator with semi-
automatic point transfer
c) the use of the A.P. as a digital data acquisition device.
Mr. Keune and Mr. Riidenauer will now report briefly about the
latter two projects.
