AT_2D Class Function Manual

ADJUST

| HOME | BACK |

Purpose

To perform a block adjustment.  There are three type of adjustment model made available, namely "conformal", "affine" and "poly2nd". 

Each type ofadjustment requires a certain minimum number of tie point and ground control points.  For example "conformal" requires that there are at least 3 ground control points, and they are at least 3 tie-points in each single photographs. If this requirement is not fulfilled, then singularity occurs.

Minimum requirement for "conformal" is 2 points, for "affine" is 3 points, and for "poly2nd" is 6 points.

Please note that all observed points are treated as tie points, thus they form equations, no matter whether it is a single point or tie point.  However, single points will not get adjusted, hence no residual.

The input Ground control point file can contain points which are not measured in model and they will be automatically discard by the program.

The function requires a filename to store the adjustment result.  If file name extension is omitted, the function will add default extension to the file.   The default extension of the camera file is ".txt".  if a path name is not include in the specified file name, the function will store the file in the current data path, set by command "set path".

***** Important Note: sd_xpyp and sd_gcp which are used as default value for SD if it is omitted in the input measuring file, must be set BEFORE reading data (loadobs, and loadgcp).

Class

AT_2D

Usage

{Matrix} ret  =  object.ADJUST({String} argm1, {String} argm2)

argm1 = filename to store the adjustment result

argm2 = type of adjusment, must be "conformal", "affine", or "poly2nd"

        (default is "conformal")

Example:

->BLK = AT_2D()

->BLK.sd_gcp() = 2.50

->BLK.sd_xpyp() = 0.03

->BLK.loadobs("my_input_data")

->BLK.loadgcp("my_gcp")

->BLK.adjust("my_result","affine")

LOADGCP

| HOME | BACK |

Purpose

To load ground control point data from a file.  The file is an ASCII file and must consists of records having 3 or 4 fields, namely point number, x coordinate and y coordinate and SD.  If the last field is omitted, the default SD, set by function "sd_gcp", will be used.  The following shows an example of a ground control point file.  Please note the use of "/" symbol in the data file, which indicates that the particular line is not wanted to be read, could be a comment line, or a wrong piece of data.

If file name extension is omitted, the function will add default extension to the file.   The default extension is ".txt".

Unless the path name is given in the file names, the function will search for the files in the current working directory, defined by command "set path".

LOADOBS

| HOME | BACK |

Purpose

To load observation data, 2D  x y coordiates, from a file.  The file is an ASCII file and must consists of blocks of records having 3 or 4 fields, namely point number, x coordinate and y coordinate and SD.  If the last field is omitted, the default SD, set by function "sd_xpyp", will be used.

Each block in the observation file must start with a number represent the photo number.  Then it is followed by all measurement in that photo.  Then it starts again with the second photo and so on.  Each photo measurement can come in any order.

The following shows an example of a observation data file.  Please note the use of "/" symbol in the data file, which indicates that the particular line is not wanted to be read, could be a comment line, or a wrong piece of data.

Please note that most points do not have SD, and the setting default value will be used.  Points that require a particular SD can be manually assigned, and the program will ignore the default SD and assign the specified SD to them, for example points 8340302, 8340305 in photo 83403 in the file below.

If file name extension is omitted, the function will add default extension to the file.   The default extension is ".txt".

Unless the path name is given in the file names, the function will search for the files in the current working directory, defined by command "set path".
