Question

Which of the following statements are relevant to Digital Photogrammetry Workstation?
i. The ability to store, manage, and manipulate very large image files
ii. The ability to perform computationally demanding image processing tasks
iii. To provide smooth roaming across entire image files and supporting zooming at various resolutions
iv. Scanning facility

• A. \(\text{i and ii} \)
• B. \(\text{i and iv} \)
• C. \(\text{i, ii and iii} \)
• D. \(\text{i, ii and iv} \)

Hint:

Digital Photogrammetry Workstations (DPWs) are high-performance image processing systems that manage large datasets, enable fast computations, and provide smooth zooming/navigation.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understanding Digital Photogrammetry Workstations.
A Digital Photogrammetry Workstation (DPW) is a computer-based system designed for processing and analyzing aerial and satellite images.
Step 2: Evaluating the given statements.
- Statement i: DPWs handle very large image files – Correct.
- Statement ii: DPWs perform computationally intensive tasks such as DEM generation and ortho-rectification – Correct.
- Statement iii: DPWs allow smooth navigation and zooming in high-resolution imagery – Correct.
- Statement iv: Scanning facility is not a core function of DPWs; scanning is generally done by separate devices before processing – Incorrect.
Step 3: Selecting the correct option.
Since statements i, ii, and iii are relevant, the correct answer is c. i, ii and iii.
