Aerial Triangulation

Aerial triangulation is the process of collecting and intersecting points of the same feature on different images and placing points of known coordinates in order to establish the position and orientation of the images at the moment of the camera exposure.

The main objective of aerial triangulation is to produce sufficient points from ground control in the photogrammetric model to ensure that each model can be oriented accurately as required for stereo compilation in either orthophoto or line mapping.


There are mainly three stages of aerial triangulation:
 

  • Preparation

  • Image measurement

  • Block adjustment

 

TreisTek's aerial triangulation processing services cover all types of cameras.

Orthorectification

Orthorectification is the process of removing the effects of image perspective and relief effects for the purpose of creating a planimetrically correct image. The resultant orthorectified image has a continuous scale wherein features are represented in their 'true' positions. This allows for the accurate direct measurement of distances, angles, and areas. Orthorectified images are commonly used in visualisation tools such as google earth, OSSIM planet, ArcMap, WMS, etc.

The necessary inputs for orthorectification:

 

  • An image with accurate sensor geometry.

  • An elevation model of the ground surface in DEM, DTED, or SRTM format.


The resulting accuracy of the orthoimage is based on the accuracy of the triangulation, the resolution of the source image and the accuracy of the elevation model.
