CINETHEODOLITE EVALUATION PROGRAM: CALIBRATION PROCEDURES

Abstract

This analysis describes current NOTS cinetheodolite calibrations performed in the field with portable equipment. It is divided into six sections. Section I briefly describes cinetheodolite errors. Section II treats these errors mathematically. Section III is an outline for setting up the measuring equipment and recording the measurements. Sections IV and V discuss the methods for reducing the measurements to camera constants used in the IBM cinetheodolite solution, and the procedures for calculating these constants with the IBM 7090. Section VI is a general discussion.
