SURE 340 - Photogrammetry Spring 2008/09
Exercise #1
1. In Photodiagram No. 1, compute the distance between points J and Z. The
“image” was captured from an aerial camera with a 5.95” focal length at a
flying height of 1,000’ above “sea level”. The elevations of the ground points
were found to be: hJ = 401’ and hZ = 287’.
2. The elevation of point M is known to be 352’. What is the height of the flagpole
on Photodiagram No.1?
3. Given a focal length of 6.50” and a flying height above “sea level” of 3,000’,
compute the tilt in Photodiagram #2.
4. What is the amount of tilt displacement for points K, L, and V?
