• Description:
  This report on numerical radial triangulation contains the results of Research Contract Number 3-8-64-79 performed by The University of Texas for the Texas Highway Department and the U.S. Bureau of Public Roads. The purpose of this report was to investigate and evaluate the use of radial triangulation for extending control, with precise measurements taken directly from the photography and data reduced through a computational procedure which could be programmed for a high-speed digital computer. The interpretation of aerial triangulation used in this study and the conclusions and recommendations developed represent a departure from the standard approach to the subject. For this reason, extensive background literature on aerial triangulation and errors was examined, and a section based on this theoretical material has been included as an introduction to this report.
