Strip Formation

The document outlines three methods for analytically forming strips in photogrammetry: the analytical method of independent models, the sequential method, and three photo aerotriangulation. Each method has distinct processes for orientation and transformation of models to create a continuous strip. Additionally, it discusses the necessity of adjusting model strip coordinates to correct errors and transform them into the ground coordinate system.

Strip formation

There are different methods of analytically forming strips, three of these being

i. Analytical method of independent models


ii. Sequential method
iii. Three photo aerotriangulation

i. Analytical method of independent models


 Each stereopair in a strip of photos maybe relatively oriented as follows:
o Fix left photo in position
o Orientation of left photo also fixed
o Model scale is initially set by assigning arbitrary model base
o Right photo adjusted by applying rotations and translations until all y parallax is cleared
 Result is a series of independent models each with its own arbitrary coordinate system
 Using coordinates of common points and common exposure stations, 3-D coordinate
transformations maybe successively performed to join adjacent models and form a continuous
model strip.

ii. Sequential method


 This is done simultaneously with relative orientation
 It is more economical in computational time because the need for strip formation by numerous
3-D coordinate transformations is eliminated
 The first model is relatively oriented as above
 For the second stereopair however, the elements of exterior orientation of the left photo are
fixed equal to their values determined from the first pair hence retains the coordinate system of
the first model
 This procedure is continued until all models in the strip have been relatively oriented and the
resulting strip will be continuous and in the coordinate system of the first stereopair

iii. Three photo aerotriangulation


 This is also done simultaneously with relative orientation
 Three photos are considered as a basic unit known as a triplet
 In its normal use, all parameters of the first photo of a flight line are assigned zero values and
having fixed the six parameters …….

Strip adjustment

 When a strip has been formed model strip coordinates will be available for all pass points and
ground control points.
 For the pass points to be useful for controlling subsequent photogrammetric operations, it is
required to adjust the model strip coordinates for their inherent systematic and random errors
and to transform them into the ground coordinate system
 Adjustment can be done either graphically or numerically by modeling the graphical curves with
polynomials
