Try these first

1. 1.

   What is the main purpose of stereo-plotters?

   Hint

   Think about the definitions given earlier.

2. 2.

   What does interior orientation involve?

   Hint

   Consider what is necessary for accurate modeling.

3. 3.

   What is the primary function of a stereo-plotter?

   • To develop radio waves
   • To extract 3D coordinates from images
   • To make 2D maps
   • To analyze video data

   Hint

   Recall the primary use of these instruments in photogrammetry.

4. 4.

   True or False: Analytical stereo-plotters require significant manual setup.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Think of the advancements in technology.

5. 5.

   Design a photogrammetric project using stereo-plotters for a hilly terrain, including the required orientations and types of equipment you would need.

   Hint

   Consider all steps from capture to processing.

6. 6.

   Evaluate the potential errors in using optical projection instruments versus analytical plotters in varying terrain conditions.

   Hint

   Focus on the impact of terrain variation on accuracy.
