1.5. Main conventions and terms
Through this User Manual various conventions and terms are used to describe processes
and objects, which are used in the system.
There are the following terms on a step of data collection for aerial triangulation:
• Workstation – personal computer (operators place) with installed system;
• Aerial triangulation – is the mathematical process of establishing precise and accurate
relationships between the individual image coordinate systems and a defined datum
and projection (ground);
• Block layout – approximate scheme of terrain, obtained using projecting of matched
images of a block on specified surface (Earth surface) considering images overlaps,
relative position, rotation by angles in a space.
• In-strip stereopair is formed by two adjacent images in a strip;
• Inter-strip stereopair is formed by two adjacent images from different strips;
