AbstractLieut.-Col. Browne's interesting method of combii1ing radial line plots (“The Application of Transformation Factors to the Adjustment of Air Photographs”, E.S.R., x, 73, 119-130) depends for its success on the basic accuracy of the radial line plots of the individual air photo strips. It therefore poses the very interesting question: What accuracy can we expect in a graphical radial line plot? 相似文献

AbstractIn the E.S.R., viii, 59, 191–194 (January 1946), J.H. Cole gives a very simple formula for finding the length of long lines on the spheroid (normal section arcs), given the coordinates of the end points. In the course of the computation the approximate azimuth of one end of the line is found, the error over a 500-mile line being of the order of 3″ or 4″. If the formula is amended so that the azimuth at the other end of the line is used in computing the length of the arc, the error is then less than 0″·1 over such a distance. An extra term is now given which makes this azimuth virtually correct over any distance. Numerical tests show that Cole's formula for length and the new one for azimuth are very accurate and convenient in all azimuths and latitudes. 相似文献

Abstract Introductory Remarks.—A line of constant bearing was known as a Rhumb line. Later Snel invented the name Loxodrome for the same line. The drawing of this line on a curvilinear graticule was naturally difficult and attempts at graphical working in the chart-house were not very successfuL Consequently, according to Germain, in 1318 Petrus Vesconte de Janua devised the Plate Carree projection (“Plane” Chart). This had a rectilinear graticule and parallel meridians, and distances on the meridians were made true. The projection gave a rectilinear rhumb line; but the bearing of this rhumb line was in general far from true and the representation of the earth's surface was greatly distorted in high latitudes. For the former reason it offered no real solution of the problem of the navigator, who required a chart on which any straight line would be a line not alone of constant bearing but also of true bearing; the first condition necessarily postulated a chart with rectilinear meridians, since a meridian is itself a rhumb line, and for the same reason it postulated rectilinear parallels. It follows, therefore, that the meridians also must be parallel inter se, like the parallels of latitude. The remaining desideratum—that for a true bearing—was attained in I569 by Gerhard Kramer, usually known by his Latin name of Mercator, in early life a pupil of Gemma Frisius of Louvain, who was the first to teach triangulation as a means for surveying a country. Let us consider, then, that a chart is required to show a straight line as a rhumb line of true bearing and let us consider the Mercator projection from this point of view. 相似文献

AbstractThe fixation of Minor Triangulation in a Primary system does not, in general, warrant rigorous adjustments of figures; less laborious methods are desirable. For Secondary work a least square adjustment to approximate coordinates is quite sufficient, while, for Tertiary, graphical solutions are amply accurate. Apart from that, cases may arise to which a figure adjustment is not applicable, as in the small net shown in Fig. 2, p. 464. The line BC cannot be equated to the line AB in the ordinary way since it is not the side of a triangle. In this case an adjustment to approxima te coordina tes will overcome the difficulty. 相似文献

AbstractThe constant K in equation (12) represents distance expended through time lags in the instrument itself, and, although the value of K can be calculated from electrical data, this would not be very satisfactory and it would be better to determine it directly by means of observations over a line of known length. In addition, the point from which K would be reckoned is not a convenient one for actual field measurements. Instead of this, it is more convenient to choose an index mark on the instrument itself and referall measurements to this and thence to the mark over which the instrument is set up. 相似文献

Abstract Artillery Survey.—Included in the term “Artillery Survey are two distinct problems, the first that of determining the “line” and “range” at which fire should be opened, and the second that of laying the gun in the required line. To appreciate these problems it. is necessary to know a little about the technique of gunnery, and for the benefit of those who have no acquaintance with the subject the following brief résumé may be given. 相似文献

AbstractThe article “Notes on the Position Line” by B. Chiat (E.S.R., xiii, 97, 137) is very informative in the conclusions reached regarding the validity of drawing the position line straight, but it seems, to me at least, that the discussion involving the effects of the earth's non-sphericity is an academic labouring of a difficulty which, in fact, is non-existent. 相似文献

AbstractTHE resolutions and pious hopes (væux) passed by the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics at Edinburgh in September 1936 have just been circulated in a formidable document of 8 pages and XXIX commandments. Of these, two affect the Cape-to-Cairo line particularly and they seem to deserve special study. The first of these, Number III—on systems of Projections—applies the meridional strips of the Transverse Mercator Projection apparently to all maps, topographical as well as cadastral. 相似文献

AbstractChesterton did not, of course, intend this gibe to be taken literally. But the more we consider what he would doubtless have called the “Higher Geodetics”, the more we must conclude that there is some literal justification for it. Not only are straight lines straight. A sufficiently short part of a curved line may also be considered straight, provided that it is continuous (i.e. does not contain a sudden break or sharp corner), and provided we are not concerned with a measure of its curvature. Similarly a square mile or so on the curved surface of the conventionally spheroidal earth is to all intents and purposes flat. We shall achieve a considerable simplification, without any approximation, in the treatment of the present subject by getting back to these fundamental glimpses of the obvious, whether the formalists and conformalists accept them or not. 相似文献

AbstractIt is frequently required to find whether a feature A of height h 0 will interrupt the view between two other features A1 and A2, of heights h 1 and h 2 respectively. Suppose that the right line from A1 to A2, whose zenith distance is ζ at A1, has a height h at A; it is then obvious that no more is necessary than to compute h and compare it with the known height h 0 of the feature A. 相似文献

AbstractThe original object of a transition curve was to ease the change from a straight line of communication to a circular line, or vice versa. It may even be laid out to connect one circular curve with another of different radius. In this manner the discomfort and even the danger to travellers in vehicles traversing such lines of way are obviated, abrupt variations of acceleration being overcome. The first curve to be used for this purpose was the elastica, introduced by Froude about 1842, and it is worthy of note that in their initial lengths all transition curves conform closely to this earliest form of easement. It is indeed obvious that, since the circle is a curve of the second order, an easing curve must be of a higher order ; the curve of the next higher order is of the third degree, and of all such curves the cubic parabola is the simplest, its equation being a2y ==x3. 相似文献

AbstractApart from “stickiness” of the suspension and looseness of the sights, prismatic compasses are subject to three internal sources of error:- <list list-type="roman-lower"> <list-item>Collimation error. This may be caused by <list list-type="alpha-lower"> <list-item>magnetic axis not being parallel to the zero line of the graduated circle;</list-item> <list-item>line of sight not passing through the axis of rotation.</list-item> </list> It is unnecessary to aftempt to distinguish between the above faults, which introduce constant errors into the compass readings.</list-item> <list-item>Eccentricity error. This is caused by the axis of rotation failing to pass through the centre of the graduated circle. This introduces an error into the compass readings of E sin θ cosec I°/R where E is the eccentricity, R the radius of the graduated circle and θ the angle between the line of sight and the line joining the centre of the circle to the axis of rotation. Eccentricity error is completely eliminated by observing both forward and back bearings, but this is not always practicable.</list-item> <list-item>Irregular division of the graduated circle. This error is negligible in any modern compass.</list-item> </list> 相似文献

AbstractThis is a summary of the problems which are involved in the apparently trivial task of measuring the length of a sinuous line on a map. It represents an extended review of the publication Cartometric Measurements, by H. Kishimoto. It is concerned with three basic problems: (1) the sorts of errors which may result from using different instruments and methods of measurement and how these may be corrected: (2) the sorts of errors which may occur in the map and how these may be corrected: 3) the fundamental problem of what is 'length'. Extensive use is made of East European literature on these subjects. 相似文献

Abstract The Net.—The total length of the lines of the level-net is roughly 2400 miles. The net comprises 27 circuits with perimeters varying between 74 and 268 miles, and is generally closer in the wet zone than in the sparsely populated and undeveloped dry zones. In 12 circuits there are differences of level exceeding 1000 feet. The highest point reached in the net is 6572 feet, and a branch line runs from Nuwara Eliya to the summit of Pidurutalagala, the highest mountain in the island (8282 feet). 相似文献

AbstractThis extremely simple and elegant method of computing geographical co-ordinates, given the initial azimuth and length of line from the standpoint, was published by Col. A. R. Clarke in 1880. There is no other known method giving the same degree of accuracy with the use of only three tabulated spheroidal factors. Clarke himself regarded this as an approximate formula (vide his remark in section 5, p. 109, “Geodesy”); but as this article demonstrates, it is capable of a high degree of precision in all occupied lati tudes when certain corrections are applied to the various terms. These corrections are comparatively easy to compute, require no further spheroidal factors, and some of them may be tabulated directly once and for all. 相似文献

AbstractIn the course of his stimulating and suggestive paper in your recent issue, No. ro, pp. 226–38, Mr. A. J. Potter writes on p. 233 “but there is no simple construction by which X can then be found”, and again on p. 237 “a direct construction, if there be such”. This cheerful challenge invites the construction of a circle centred on a given line, passing through a given point thereon, and touching a given circle, and I have found the lure of Mr. Potter's gauntlet as irresistible as its recovery has proved delicate. In order to shoulder responsibility and by no means to claim highly improbable originality, let me confess that the problem is new to me and the two constructions I offer are my own; I venture to hope that Mr. Potter may consider one or other of them not unworthy of his epithet “simple”, though I freely admit the aptitude of his empiric procedure to its purpose. The proofs are not long, but for fear of overshooting my welcome I offer them to anyone for the asking; and for the same reason my diagrams are small and therefore mere. 相似文献

ABSTRACTThis paper presents an approach to process raw unmanned aircraft vehicle (UAV) image-derived point clouds for automatically detecting, segmenting and regularizing buildings of complex urban landscapes. For regularizing, we mean the extraction of the building footprints with precise position and details. In the first step, vegetation points were extracted using a support vector machine (SVM) classifier based on vegetation indexes calculated from color information, then the traditional hierarchical stripping classification method was applied to classify and segment individual buildings. In the second step, we first determined the building boundary points with a modified convex hull algorithm. Then, we further segmented these points such that each point was assigned to a fitting line using a line growing algorithm. Then, two mutually perpendicular directions of each individual building were determined through a W-k-means clustering algorithm which used the slop information and principal direction constraints. Eventually, the building edges were regularized to form the final building footprints. Qualitative and quantitative measures were used to evaluate the performance of the proposed approach by comparing the digitized results from ortho images. 相似文献

In the field of biomass estimation, terrain radiometric calibration of airborne polarimetric SAR data for forested areas is an urgent problem. Illuminated area correction of σ -naught could not completely remove terrain features. Inspired by Small and Shimada, this paper tested gamma-naught on one mountainous forested area using airborne Uninhabited Aerial Vehicle Synthetic Aperture Radar data and found it could remove most terrain features. However, a systematic increasing trend from far range to near range is found in airborne SAR cases. This paper made an attempt to use the relationship between distance to SAR sensor and γ-naught to calibrate γ -naught. Two quantitative evaluation methods are proposed. Experimental results demonstrate that variation of γ -naught can be constrained to a limited extent from near range to far range. Since this method is based on ground range images, it avoids complicated orthorectification. 相似文献

Mixed Integer-Real Valued Adjustment (IRA) Problems: GPS Initial Cycle Ambiguity Resolution by Means of the LLL Algorithm 总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4
Erik W. Grafarend 《GPS Solutions》2000,4(2):31-44
In order to achieve to GPS solutions of first-order accuracy and integrity, carrier phase observations as well as pseudorange
observations have to be adjusted with respect to a linear/linearized model. Here the problem of mixed integer-real valued
parameter adjustment (IRA) is met. Indeed, integer cycle ambiguity unknowns have to be estimated and tested. At first we review
the three concepts to deal with IRA: (i) DDD or triple difference observations are produced by a properly chosen difference
operator and choice of basis, namely being free of integer-valued unknowns (ii) The real-valued unknown parameters are eliminated
by a Gauss elimination step while the remaining integer-valued unknown parameters (initial cycle ambiguities) are determined
by Quadratic Programming and (iii) a RA substitute model is firstly implemented (real-valued estimates of initial cycle ambiguities)
and secondly a minimum distance map is designed which operates on the real-valued approximation of integers with respect to
the integer data in a lattice. This is the place where the integer Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization by means of the LLL algorithm (modified LLL algorithm) is applied being illustrated by four examples. In particular, we prove
that in general it is impossible to transform an oblique base of a lattice to an orthogonal base by Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization where its matrix enties are integer. The volume preserving Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization operator constraint to integer entries produces “almost orthogonal” bases which, in turn, can be used to produce the integer-valued
unknown parameters (initial cycle ambiguities) from the LLL algorithm (modified LLL algorithm). Systematic errors generated
by “almost orthogonal” lattice bases are quantified by A. K. Lenstra et al. (1982) as well as M. Pohst (1987). The solution point of Integer Least Squares generated by the LLL algorithm is = (L')−1[L'◯] ∈ ℤ
m
where L is the lower triangular Gram-Schmidt matrix rounded to nearest integers, [L], and = [L'◯] are the nearest integers of L'◯, ◯ being the real valued approximation of z ∈ ℤ
m
, the m-dimensional lattice space Λ. Indeed due to “almost orthogonality” of the integer Gram-Schmidt procedure, the solution point is only suboptimal, only close to “least squares.” ? 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 相似文献
