1. The following measurements were made on four different sets of adjacent left
and right photographs:
5. The distance between two ground control points A and B is XXXXXXXXXXmeters. The
elevation of A is 208.9 meters. Parallax measurements in two adjacent photographs
containing image points a and b of the ground control points A and B are pa = 72.21
mm and pb = 74.16 mm. The coordinates of a and b in the left photo are xa = 48.28
mm and ya = 50.60 mm; xb = 67.66 mm and yb = XXXXXXXXXXmm. The focal length of the
camera is XXXXXXXXXXmm. Compute the length of the ai
ase, the flying height and the
elevation of point B.

2. Two overlapping photographs are set up for parallax measurement. The distance
etween the principal points ( D ) is 263.4 mm. The distance between image point ( a ) in
the left and right photos is 172.5 mm. Compute the stereographic parallax of image point
( a ).

3. A pair of overlapping vertical photographs was taken from a flying height of 1233 m
above sea level with a 152.4 mm focal length camera. The air base was 390 meters.
Flight light coordinates are measured as xa = 53.4 mm; ya =50.8 mm; x’a = -38.3 mm; y’a
= 50.9 mm; xb = 88.9 mm; yb = -46.7; x’b = -7.1 mm; and y’b = -46.7 mm. Calculate the
elevations of point A and B and the horizontal length of line AB.

6. The parallax of image point ( a ) and ( c ) were measured in two overlapping vertical
photographs as 91.67 mm and 92.60 mm respectively. The elevation of Point C is known
to be 1, 938 feet above sea level. The flying height of the photographs is known to be
4,045 feet above sea level. Compute the elevation of Point C.
