MATHEMATICAL TARGETING II: THE ANALYSIS OF ANALYTICAL AEROTRIANGULATION TECHNIQUES BY SIMULATION METHODS.

Abstract

The problem of applying analytical block aerotriangulation techniques to targeting is studied by means of simulation methods. Photographic blocks of various configurations are adjusted and the resulting errors tabulated, graphed, and analyzed. The results of the study indicate that simulation methods are a powerful tool for analyzing the effectiveness of various photographic block configurations for the determination of the positions and elevations of ground targets. An operational set of electronic computer programs for performing either simulation or actual rigorous analytical adjustment of medium-sized (up to 32 photographs) blocks of metric aerial photography, on the CDC 1604-B Computer complex at Rome Air Development Center are described in outline.
