QUESTION

SIMULTANEOUS INDEPENDENT MODEL TRIANGULATION

1. Determine the number of Unkowns Quantities
2. Determine the number of Observed Quantities

ANSWER

Assumed That:
1. Model Scale is Constant
2. Forward Overlap is more than 50%
3. Side Overlap is more than 20%
4. Good Pass Point distribution

The Unknown Quantities

1. Scale, Rotational of Axes, Translation
4 Models
7 Quantities of each model (λ, ω, φ, К, x, y, z)
= 7 Quantities X 4 Models = 28 Quantities

2. Ground Coordinate of Pass Point

15 Pass Point
3 Quantities of each point (x, y, z)
= 3 Quantities X 15 Pass Point = 45 Quantities

3. Ground Coordinate of Pass Point

6 Exposure Station Point
3 Quantities of each point (x, y, z)
= 6 Quantities X 6 Exposure Station Point = 8 Quantities

Total Unknown Quantities = 28 + 45 + 8

= 81 Quantities
The Measured Quantities
1. Model Coordinates of Pass Point
15 Past Points
3 Quantities in each point (x, y, z)
= 3 Quantities X 15 Past Points = 45 Quantities

2. Model Coordinates of Perspective Center Point

6 Exposure Station Point
3 Quantities in each point (x, y, z)
= 3 Quantities X 8 Exposure Station Point = 24 Quantities

3. Model Coordinates of Ground Control Points

4 GCP
3 Quantities in each point (x, y, z)
= 3 Quantities X 4 GCPs = 12 Quantities

Total Observed Quantities = 45 + 24 + 12

= 81 Quantities
