INVESTIGATION OF THE ANALYTICAL STEREOPLOTTER AP/C (OP/C PHASE) IN APPLICATION TO HIGHWAY ENGINEERING PROJECTS PHASE 2

The objective of the report is to study the feasibility of Orthophoto Mapping, in Highway Engineering using the AP/C - OP/C. It was found that the most valuable use of Orthophoto Mapping in Highway Engineering is as base maps on which overlays of land use maps, line maps, and geological survey maps can be made. The disadvantages are the existence of height distortion within the slit width and the consumption of AP/C time which could be used more profitably for Aerial Triangulation.
