terized by similar density on the whole area, .
Measurement of arbitrarily distributed points is troub-
lesome for stereo operator, Therefore making profiles
along one stereoplotter axis is proposed, using automatic
registration in assigned distances. It is recommended,
that distances betwein profiles should be equal to dis-
tances along profiles.
Ihis way of observations assures uniformity of point
distribution, location of points need not to be marked
on contact prints or enlargements and does not require
interruption of observations in order to mark measured
points. Measurement is very quick and for the experienced
Stereo operators fastness of work is frequently limited
by efficiency of registration devices, The areas measured
on adjacent Stereograms should overlap, as well as strip
outside the boundaries of object should be measured,
2,2 Computations
Computation process begins with preliminary check of
measuring data, removal of misregistrations and adjust-
ment of model coordinates to the Scale of terrain coor-
dinates. Next, X,y,2 model coordinates are transformed
to X,Y,Z2 terrain coordinates. Helmert transformation
is used for computation of plane coordinates, while
heights are calculated, using formula:
Z =. 2 + Zo+ aX + bY
where: z - height taken from model
X,Y,Z = terrain coordinates
Zo - height displacement of origin of coordinate
System
a,b - coefficients, correcting height differences
caused by residual errors of? leveiling
On the basis of these data regular DTM is created in the
form of square grid parallel to X,Y axis of terrain coor-
dinate system. Heights of corners of this grid are obta-
ined through interpolation, Among given points the closest
