High Resolution 1:10,000 scale Mapping Strategy of Multi ... - NDMA

adjustment determines the ground coordinates of any tie points manually or
automatically measured on the overlap areas of multiple images. The highly
precise ground point determination of tie points is useful for generating control
points from imagery in lieu of ground surveying techniques. Additionally, if a
large number of ground points is generated, then a DEM can be interpolated
using the 3D surfacing.
• Block adjustment minimizes and distributes the errors associated with the
imagery, image measurements, GCPs, and so forth. The block adjustment
processes information from an entire block of imagery in one simultaneous
solution (i.e., a bundle) using statistical techniques (i.e., adjustment
component) to automatically identify, distribute, and remove error. Because
the images are processed in one step, the misalignment issues associated
with creating mosaics are resolved.
