ANALYTICAL AERIAL TRIANGULATION ERROR ANALYSIS AND APPLICATION OF COMPENSATING EQUATIONS TO THE GENERAL BLOCK TRIANGULATION AND ADJUSTMENT PROGRAM. APPENDIX
Abstract
Improved accuracy in the supplied General Block Triangulation digital computer program is de scribed through incorporation in the program means of error adjustment and compensation as follows: (1) the nature of random and systematic errors and the basic techniques for treating their effects as applicable to the analytical photogrammetric problem; (2) the basic least squares method and its incorporation in the computer program; (3) complete mathematical de scription of the program; (4) studies of the nature and effects of the important error sources: lens and camera errors, atmospheric refraction, film distortion; (5) the study of various techniques for the solution of simul taneous equations; (6) operating instructions; and (7) the results, conclusions, and resulting recommendations of test runs of the final com puter program.
