Collection

Creating a map

Aerial Photography images are viewed in our stereoplotters.  The image of a "floating-point cursor" appears in the optical train of the stereo model (55% overlap).  The overlapping imagery of two separate photos when viewed in our stereoplotter equipment appears to be three dimensional (3-D).  The stereomodel is set by tipping, tilting, and rotating to level the stereo image to the known actual ground (photo-points)  measurements (Northing (x), Easting (y), and Elevation (z)).  An operator (compiler) then collects (traces) features individually in a series of steps.  This display shows the steps of collection by an operator viewed in a stereoplotter.
