7.1 Shift and drift parameters

A GPS data file has to include for every photo at least: event number, GPS-time, coordinates and optionally accuracy (three-dimensional). The event number should be identical with the photo name. In case of missing accuracy, the accuracy indication from the line above will be used. If there is no accuracy in the first line, 1.0 will be used. If there aren’t any accuracy indications at all, their control will be effected exclusively by the value from the FILE statement (see Section 5.3). If the time is missing, a constant time interval between the photos is assumed.

# LINE statement:
# LINE line_no key [ reference_time ]

# where LINE Statement name

# line-no unique number to identify line

# key 6 digits to set 3 shift and 3 drift unknowns

# for this line

# reference time (optionally)

#

# Data lines:

# Event_no. time X Y Z [ precision ]

# where precision = sqrt ( sx * sx + sy * sy + sz * sz)

Example for a GPS data file

When all phase positions are solved correctly already in the GPS pre-processing, this file does not need any further data. The transformation into the control point system is then – and only then – effected with the 7-parameter-transformation, activated with the GTRA statement in the GEO INPUT file.
