taken with the mount inverted and held down through the
smoke holes from the roof (Fig.4). All photographs were
taken on Ilford FP4 film which is a consistent and tolerant
emulsion. Processing was again carried out ın a hostel
bathroom using Ilford ID11 at 1:1.
No UMK photography was obtained in 1990, but about
160 photographs were taken with the Hasselblad. As in
the previous year, about 450 survey measurements were
made.
4. THE BUNDLE ADJUSTMENT.
An account of computations which were carried out
following the 1989 and 1990 visits is given by Biddle et
al (1992).
The primary survey data consists of photographs,
archaeological descriptions, sketches and plans and the
site survey measurements. From these primary data,
secondary data can be derived by different techniques, in
different forms and for different purposes. One of the
major purposes of the survey is the accurate spatial
definition of the main structural features of the Edicule. If
it had been possible to take stereopairs of metric
photographs, each with more than three well disposed and
well defined coordinated control points, then accurate
photogrammetry could have been carried out directly.
Given the site problems, some photographs, particularly
of the spaces above the level of the lamps inside the
Edicule, included no predefined control points and some
had only one or two. Thus a bundle adjustment was

necessary to provide a homogeneous set of coordinated
points for each stereopair and exterior orientation
parameters of all the photographs.
Pass points (or tie points) were identified and marked on
prints. The photocoordinates of these and of the surveyed
targets were measured in an Intergraph Intermap Analytic
(IMA). These measurements were used in conjunction
with the site survey measurements of height differences,
horizontal angles, zenith angles and slope distances in a
linearised least squares process to estimate the spatial
coordinates of the survey stations, the surveyed control
points and the pass points and the exterior orientations of
the previously calibrated cameras.
The computation was carried out using the Generalised
Adjustment Program (GAP) written in C by staff and
research students of the Engineering Surveying Research
Centre. The program was run under UNIX on a Sun
Sparcstation 1+.
Memory storage limitations (16Mb + 50 Mb swap space)
meant that a simultaneous solution for all 2418 unknowns
was unacceptably slow, taking about a day for one
iteration; almost all the run time was used for swapping
data. The dense network of photography and survey did
not lend itself to automatic rigorous sequential estimation,
so a quasi-sequential method was used. Two sequences of
independent observations were used, but only the
variances of the coordinates estimated in the first
sequence were input into the second sequence;
covariances were ignored. Later, a full simultaneous
