PHOTOGRAMMETRIC FLASH TRIANGULATION FOR CORPS OF ENGINEERS FIELD USE

Abstract

Preliminary equipment and operational requirements for a photogrammetric flash triangulation system for Army use in extending geodetic control over short and medium distances are presented. The field instrumentation system under consideration for Army application is based on the use of an equatorially mounted camera for obtaining the observations during a guided photograph of the star background. Existing equipment which could be used in system is discussed, and equations which are being programmed for an error analysis of the system are presented. (Author)
