Abstract:
An image processing computer system for a photogrammetric analytical measurement in which a survey map is formed by successively connecting survey map sections to each other, each of said survey map sections being produced based on a set of pictures photographed for said measurement, said system comprising:a memory that stores plural frames of image data associated with each said set of pictures, each picture of said set of pictures forming a survey map section is taken from a different photographing direction, each picture of said set of pictures including a target at a predetermined position in the image defining the image data; an image-data-reading controller that reads the plural frames of image data from said memory in a predetermined order; a monitor that displays a scene including a picture-arranging-display area and a picture-shunting-display area; a first monitor controller that displays respective plural pictures on said picture-arranging-display area on the basis of said plural frames of image and data read from said memory by said image-data-reading controller; a second monitor controller that transfers a displayed picture from said picture-arranging-display area to said picture-shunting-display area; and a third monitor controller that returns the transferred picture to said picture-arranging-display area, wherein the pictures displayed on said picture-arranging-display area are rearranged using said second and third monitor controllers such that pictures forming each said set of pictures for producing a survey map section are capable of being visually recognized, each picture of said set of pictures forming the survey map section being taken from a different photographing position and including the target at a predetermined position in the image defining the image data.
