Question

The operator measures the y-parallaxes at six or more points and the _______ relative orientation parameters are computed by least squares adjustment.

• A. \(\text{Four} \)
• B. \(\text{Five} \)
• C. \(\text{Six} \)
• D. \(\text{Eight} \)

Hint:

In photogrammetry, five relative orientation parameters are computed using least squares adjustment from y-parallax measurements.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understanding relative orientation in photogrammetry. Relative orientation determines the position and orientation of two overlapping aerial images. 
Step 2: Number of parameters in relative orientation. 
- Relative orientation involves five independent parameters (rotation and translation adjustments). 
- These parameters are computed by least squares adjustment using y-parallaxes from six or more points. 
Step 3: Selecting the correct option. Since relative orientation requires five parameters, the correct answer is b. Five.
