RESULTS OF RECENT TESTS IN AERIAL TRIANGULATION

The European Organization for Experimental Photogrammetric Research (OEEPE) has set up vast experimental investigation into the accuracy of different methods of strip and block triangulation. Results of the first stage of investigation from the test-block "Oberschwaben" are reported, referring to variation of control, variation of block-size, 20 percent and 60 percent side overlap, wide-angle and super-wide-angle photographs, and different adjustment methods (bundle method, independent models, polynomials). The experimental results confirm certain theoretical accuracy expectations. However, many results contradict theory consistently. The discrepancies between experiment and simplified theory are evidently due to systematic image errors; conclusions are drawn about the treatment by refined mathematical methods. /Author/
