StereoscopicVision
FOR 220 Aerial Photo Interpretation and Forest Measurements
• The pictures used in the stereo views where in the form of "stereographs" which were two pictures of the same scene that were slightly offset and mounted side-by-side.
Stereoscopic Vision
StereoscopyThe use of binocular vision to achieve 3-dimensional effects.
Enables you to view an object from 2 different camera positions to obtain a 3-dimensional view.
Stereo pairs of photographs
Two adjacent, overlapping photographs in the same flight line.
Stereo views can only be seen in the overlapping portion of the photos.
Stereoscopic Vision
Stereoscopes:A binocular optical instrument that helps us view two properly oriented photos toobtain a 3-dimensional model.
Types of Stereoscopes:
Lens (pocket) stereoscope
Simplest Least expensive Small 2-4 x magnification Used in the field
Stereoscopic Vision
Types of Stereoscopes:
Mirror stereoscope
Photos can be placed separately for viewing
Used in the field?
Stereoscopic Vision
Types of Stereoscopes:
Scanning mirror stereoscope
A series of lenses and prisms
Relatively expensive
Not used in the field
Stereoscopic Vision
Types of Stereoscopes:
Zoom stereoscope
Variable magnification: 2.5 - 20 x
Very Expensive
Not used in the field
The “Cadillac” of stereoscopes
Stereoscopic Vision
Types of Stereoscopes:
Zoom transfer stereoscope
Variable magnification: 2.5 - 20 x
Used to transfer features from a stereo-pair of photos onto a map or other photo
Very Expensive
Not used in the field
1. Obtain 2 photographs consecutively marked on a flight line.
2. Locate and mark the Principal Points on each photograph.
3. Locate and mark the Conjugate Principal Points on each photograph.
4. Line up all 4 points and adjust the distance between photographs to suit your needs.

Where:h = object height H = flying heightdP = differential parallax P = avg. photo base length (avg. distance, PP to CPP)

Stereo Photograph Geometry
1. Determine average photo-base (P)
Average distance between PP and CPP for stereopair
Example: if thenP1 = 4.5 in. P = 4.4 in.P2 = 4.3 in.

2. Determine differential parallax (dP)
Difference of the distances between feature bases and tops while stereopair is in stereo viewing postion.
Example: if thendb = 2.06 in. dP = 0.6 in.dt = 1.46 in.

Stereo Photograph Geometry
Using the measurements from previous slides, “plug and chug”
h = object height (we want this) H = flying height (2,200 ft. given in flight information) dP = differential parallax (0.6 in.= 2.06in. - 1.46in.) P = avg. photo base length (4.4 in.) (avg. distance, PP to CPP)
Example: Computing height using stereoscopic parallax
Solve for h:h = (2,200 ft. * 0.6 in.) / (4.4 in. + 0.6 in.) = 1320 ft. in. / 5 in. = 264 ft.

Stereo Photograph Geometry
Parallax calculations of height are useful where the object of interest is:
On small scale photographs (high altitude flight)
Located at or near the nadir of a single photo.
Obscured on one photo of a stereopair, but the base and top can still be located.
Flight or camera variables (except aircraft height) are not known.
Stereoplotters - precision instruments designed to duplicate the exact relative position and orientation of the aerial camera at the time of photo acquisition to recreate the stereo model. A floating mark can be used trace specific elevations. Relief displacement is removed creating a planimetric map.
Soft-copy photogrammetry workstations - computer software recreates the stereo model and allows for digital mapping

Photographic distortion and relief displacement are removed during orthorectification
Orthophoto - rectified aerial photo showing objects in their true planimetric position
Orthophotoquad - orthophoto in the standard USGS 7.5 minute quadrangle format with same scale accuracy as USGS topographic maps
DOQ – digital orthophoto quad
DOQQ - digital orthophoto quarter quad
“Native” format of orthophotos is digital
