Aerotriangulation result

The aerotriangulation result is the output block: computed or estimated properties can be displayed through block properties, aerotriangulation report and acquisition report.

Example of block dashboard after an aerotriangulation

A successful aerotriangulation is supposed to compute positions and rotations for every photo. All photos must be included in the main component for future reconstruction steps.

Photos may be lost by the aerotriangulation in case of insufficient overlap or inappropriate input data. In such case, you can either:
  • Go back to the input block, modify its properties if needed, and try a new aerotriangulation;
  • Or use the output block as an intermediate result, and try a new aerotriangulation from this block to compute missing properties.

In some cases, even if all photos are successfully included in the main component of the output block, the latter can be further improved by a new aerotriangulation. For instance, new control points may be introduced in the output block and used in a new aerotriangulation to georeference the block.
