out in such a way that each conventionally rectified complete photograph
(of flat terrain), or each pair of half photographs (of non-flat terrain) rectified
differentially from the same diapositive in two successive stereo models,
covered one map sheet only. In such a case a minimum number of orthophoto
negatives would be required to form one map sheet, while in each sheet the
radial displacements of objects rising above the terrain would radiate from
the same radial centre. Also evenness of grey tones is then easily obtainable,
in the case of differential rectification,by always developing the two half
photographs together.
From the assembly of orthophoto negatives, photomap sheets can be
produced (in the form of dyeline copies, bromide copies, or off-set printed
copies), annotated with grid, names, contours and spot heights, and—if
required—with soil type or vegetation strata lines, etc., by following proce-
dures such as those described in the ITClecture notes on Cartography by
van Zuylen and Shearer, or by Urban (Central Mapping Authority, Australia)
in a paper Large Scale Mapping in New South Wales, presented to the 7th UN
Regional Cartographic Conference for Asia and the Far East, Tokyo, October
1973.
When the definition of the cadastral boundaries in the terrain (see
1.5.1 above) has been done by annotation on enlargements of the original
photography, the photo maps can easily be annotated with these boundaries
in the following way. A contact copy of the ortho negative assembly is made
onto a scribing sheet coated with a photographic emulsion (e.g. Stabilene
Contone, by Keuffel and Esser). When the scale of the enlargements is about
equal to that of the photomap, a simple mirror stereoscope such as the ITC
Stereoscan can be used for the transfer of the cadastral boundaries to the
photomap; otherwise a mirror steresocope with differential optical enlarge-
ment is needed. The cadastral boundaries can next be scribed into the coated
scribing sheet. By successive photography of the ortho negative assembly and
the scribed sheet, using the proper means of registration, the cadastral boun-
daries will appear on the resulting positive orthophoto in black. From this
scribed sheet conventional line maps of the cadastral situation can also be
produced by off-set printing, if desired. It should be noted here that the line
plotting is done from the orthophoto and is thus not dependent on an ex-
pensive photogrammetric plotter.
