Abstract
Aerial photographic methods are now widely used in topographic surveying, and in recent years efforts have been made to place them under mathematical control by analytical procedures of computation. In this field Earl Church, Assoc. M. ASCE, and P. H. Underwood, 3 M. ASCE, are the leaders. The purpose of this paper is to present an analytical solution based on the direction cosine principles of space geometry. The underlying mathematical principles are first developed and then applied to aerial survey problems. The methods of analysis and adjustment and the determination of the effect of the atmospheric refraction are new.
