Fig. 5. Lens distortion curve for an Aviogon lens.
In this expression the positive sign indicates that the two vectors have
opposite directions which is without interest in practice.
'This residuum is the only effect due to the lens distortion that is
observable by the operator. Schematically, this operation is illustrated
in the figures 9—11.
3.4 Model Deformation
By means of the tilt e as an element of the relative orientation it has
been possible to compensate the considerable vertical parallaxes caused
by the lens distortion of the infra-filter and the camera as a unit and to
get a stereoscopic model, roughly speaking, free from disturbing paral-
laxes. Let us for a moment look at the formulas that convert a tilt 9
into a vertical parallax as well as into a change of the altitude,
Referring to [9], the definition of the vertical parallax is? 72

direction we get the following expression of p, and the altitude dh

It is of interest to observe that p’ = f(¢1, ¢2) will be a rectilimear
function for x' as a constant. From that it follows that the influence of
small changes of ¢ results in a rectilinear change along any vertical of
the stereo-area. Thus, in the vertical parallax nomograms we get a rec-
tilinear superimposition.
