Table_5
They show improvements over standard type instruments in that
they permit
1. higher accuracy by self calibration
e 2. correction of various types of systematic errors (film, model)
5. the extension of plotting limitations
(focal length, enlargement ratio)
4, the possibility to program for special sensor types
