Study Notes
Introduction to Aerotriangulation
- Aerotriangulation determines ground coordinates (X, Y, Z) of points from photo coordinates.
- Phototriangulation is a broader term applicable to both aerial and terrestrial photos.
- Enhanced equipment has improved accuracy in determining ground coordinates significantly.
- A major use is extending or densifying ground control via photo strips and blocks, often referred to as "bridging."
Control Points
- Minimum required control points for each stereomodel: three horizontal and four vertical.
- Extensive mapping projects necessitate a large number of control points to avoid high field survey costs.
- Aerotriangulation can establish control using limited field-surveyed points, resulting in cost savings.
Technological Advancements
- Kinematic GPS and INS can provide camera coordinates and angular attitude during photo capture.
- Theory suggests this method could eliminate the need for ground control, but practical applications still require minimal ground control for better accuracy.
Advantages of Aerotriangulation
- Conducted under controlled laboratory conditions, reducing weather-related delays.
- Requires less access to project property.
- Minimizes difficulties in field surveying in challenging terrains like marshes or steep slopes.
- Validates field-surveyed control, reducing risks of erroneous data during compilation.
Methods of Aerotriangulation
- Classified into three categories: analog, semianalytical, and analytical.
- Analog methods: manual orientation of photo models using stereoscopic instruments; enabled long strip models where coordinates could be directly read.
- Semianalytical techniques combine manual stereomodel orientation with numerical absolute orientation.
- Analytical methods involve photo coordinate measurement followed by numerical orientation to compute ground coordinates.
Pass Points
- Careful selection of pass points is critical; these points serve as reference positions in the aerotriangulation process.
