Ackermann F. Utilization of navigation data for aerial triangulation

ISPRS Archives. – 1984. — Volume XXV. — Part A3. — Pp. 1 - 9.XVth ISPRS Congress. Technical Commission III: Mathematical analysis of data. 17-29 June 1984, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil.Camera orientation data, directly recorded, have since long been known to be highly effective as auxiliary data in aerial triangulation. Especially statoscope- and APR-data have been successfully utilized in joint adjustment procedures.
The modern computer controlled systems for photo flight navigation supply extended auxiliary data the processing of which in joint block adjustment allows considerable reduction of ground control. Simulations and practical results are reviewed which demonstrate the economic and accuracy potential of navigation data for aerial triangulation.
