- Manuscript Preparation - manuscript gridding with
user defined grid size,
rotation, scale.
- control point plotting with
user defined symbols and
annotation for coordinates
entered by hand or read from
a file.
- Sheet orientation - when using a Kern GP1
flatbed plotter, a pre-
existing mapsheet can be
oriented, allowing collected
data to be overplotted.
4.2 KRISS Image Superimposition
The Kern Raster Image Superimposition System, KRISS, may be
installed on the Kern DSR analytical plotter. Additional optics
are fitted into the DSR which allows the image on the KRISS
display screen to be projected into the operator's field of
view in the DSR.
The image superimposition hardware may be configured to allow
. mono image superimposition fine
. mono image superimposition coarse
. Stereo image superimposition fine
. Stereo image superimposition coarse
and the user may select the configuration which best fits his
requirements.
5. Off-Line Plotting
The Off-Line Plot Program, PLOTR, is a program for obtaining a
graphical plot of the contents of digital data files e.g. data
collected using MAPS 200. Graphical off-line output may be on
devices such as the Kern GP1 plotting table, the less expensive
Houston drum plotter etc. The user specifies all the parameters
of the output e.g. plotting scale, sheet size etc., and the
complete data file may be plotted, or only selected features.
6. Aerial Triangulation
The Kern DSR Aerial Triangulation System, AETRI, contains
programs which allow the user to collect plate or model
coordinates with the DSR. The data may then be adjusted using
polynomial strip and block adjustments in order to detect any
possible errors, before inputing the data into a bundle
adjustment e.g. BLUH or BINGO from the University of Hannover,
PATB from the University of Stuttgart, or an independent model
adjustment e.g. PATM from the University of Stuttgart. The
program for data collection allows the operator to measure in a
model mode to obtain model coordinates or a comparator mode to
