  1. Aerotriangulation Data Reduction using AeroSys-AT • Collect AT Info • Make a New AeroSys Project • Translate Photocoordinate data • Pre-processing • Bundle Adjustment (c) AeroSys Consulting, MHS (IPC)

  2. Collect AT Info • Gather Ground Control Point file • Convert to AeroSys CTL format • How good is your control? • Get gcp sigma's!, Time = $$ • Plot out in scatter chart PtID,X,Y • Measure AT Data • Softcopy or Analytical Plotter • Export to desired format (ptb, etc.) • Refined vs. Raw • Collect Camera Calibration Info • Focal Length, Xo, Yo, K0, K1, K2, K3, P1, P2, P3 (c) AeroSys Consulting, MHS (IPC)

  3. Make New AeroSys Project • Put data files into designated directory • Measured photocoordinates (*.ptb, etc) • Ground Control (*.ctl) • Project (File) Basename & CTL file • Photocoordinate Format Type • Block Configuration • Camera Information (c) AeroSys Consulting, MHS (IPC)

  4. Translate Photocoordinate Data into AeroSys (*.REF) Format • Verify input format type • Refined vs. Raw • Refined – No Fiducials or Interior Points • Raw – How many fiducials: 4 or 8 • Units – millimeter or microns • Did translation parse OK? (c) AeroSys Consulting, MHS (IPC)

  5. Data Pre-processing • Prepro • Photocoordinate Refinement(REFINE) • Relative Orientation (RELORN) • Strip Formation (STRIPFORM) • Block Formation (BLOCKFORM) • Model Coords to Ground (ESTIMATE) • Photo Resection (RESECT) • Point Intersection (INTERSECT) • Merge data files (MERGE) • Pre-Bundle Data Check (IMAGE RAYS) (c) AeroSys Consulting, MHS (IPC)

  6. Photocoordinate Refinement(REFINE)(raw photocoordinates only) • 2D-Affine transformation from plate coordinates to camera system • Option to remove radial lens distortion • Input = *.PHC, *.CAL • Output = *.REF (c) AeroSys Consulting, MHS (IPC)

  7. Relative Orientation (RELORN) • Makes independent models from adjacent over-lapping photos in each strip • Is direction of flight correct? • Input = *.REF, *.CAL, *.CTL • Output = *.REL (c) AeroSys Consulting, MHS (IPC)

  8. Strip Formation (STRIPFORM) • Connects adjacent independent models together in a strip in model space coords • Minimum 3 common points & photo center • Input = *.REL • Output = *.STP (c) AeroSys Consulting, MHS (IPC)

  9. Block Formation (BLOCKFORM) • Similar to STRIPFORM, but makes a single block of coordinates from adjacent strips in model space • Checks that strips are tied together • Ideal for AB-GPS application with few gcp’s • Input = *.STP • Output = *.BLK (c) AeroSys Consulting, MHS (IPC)

  10. Model Coordinates to Ground (ESTIMATE) • Transforms model space coordinate to object space (ground) coordinates • 2 Options • Strip Polynomial Adjustment Input = *.STP, *.CTL • 2D/3D Hybrid transformation Input = *.BLK, *.CTL • Tie point analysis in log file • Output = *.EST (c) AeroSys Consulting, MHS (IPC)

  11. Photo Resection (RESECT) • Computes the Exterior Orientations of each photo in each strip • Omega, Phi, Kappa, XL, YL, ZL • Input = *.CAL, *.REF, *.EST • Output = *.CAM, *.RST (c) AeroSys Consulting, MHS (IPC)

  12. Point Intersection (INTERSECT) • Computes object space (ground) coordinates for points missed-out during model and strip formation • Input = *.REF, *.EST, *.RST • Output = “updated” *.EST (c) AeroSys Consulting, MHS (IPC)

  13. Merge data files (MERGE) • Merges data files from previous PREPRO step into a first approximation data file for the Aero bundle adjustment • Inputs = *.CAL, *.CAM, *.EST, *.REF • Output = *.AER (c) AeroSys Consulting, MHS (IPC)

  14. Pre-Bundle Data Check (IMAGE RAYS) • Performs space (point) intersections on all object (ground) points from initial approximations • Warning Tool for gross blunders • Input = *.AER • Output = GUI (c) AeroSys Consulting, MHS (IPC)

  15. PREPRO Statistics • *.LOG text files for each step • REFINE • RELORN • STRIPFORM • BLOCKFORM • ESTIMATE • RESECT • INTERSECT • IMAGERAYS • Full Statistics, observations and residuals (c) AeroSys Consulting, MHS (IPC)

  16. Special PREPRO Features • RELORN • Auto eliminate gross misfits • Explicitly remove observation with FLAG = 0 • BLOCKFORM • Reports used and un-used control points • ESTIMATE • Auto eliminate gross misfits • Re-designates bad ground control into check points • Tie-point reporting & Threshold Limits on deltas • RESECT • Auto eliminate gross misfits (c) AeroSys Consulting, MHS (IPC)

  17. Bundle Adjustment • Aero.exe • Input • Prepro Approximations (*.AER) • Cycle • Run • Analyze Statistics • Quick Summary • Model Check • Edit • Output • Adjusted Ground Coordinate (*.XYZ) • Adjusted Orientations (*.ORN) • Other formats (ORI, Itera, Dapor, Z/I, VirtuoZo, etc) (c) AeroSys Consulting, MHS (IPC)
