BINGO 5.1 - March 2004
This page describes BINGO as it existed at the stated release date. For current behavior and requirements, use the current Manual, Reference, and Guides.
A new licensing method has been introduced to allow temporary licenses, prolongation of those licenses and later remote update for new versions of the software. All Hardlocks have to return to GIP to introduce this remote update system (RUS) and to store it in the Hardlock´s memory.
BINGO includes now full support for Hardlock USB.
Several small problems have been solved.
Program BINGO
BINGO outputs as well skipped photo measurements in file "imresi.dat" with the text "skipped" at the end of those lines.
Program RELAX
A new parameter "SAT" (Standard Aerial Triangulation data) has bee added to the RXPA statement. It is located at the "Extended" page of the BINGO Parameters. If this parameter is checked, it has three effects:
Relative orientation is limited to next lower and upper neighbour photos numbers within the sorted photo number list.
Only photos along the same flight line will be accepted for relative orientation, i.e. the base bx in flight direction must be considerably (three times) larger than the base components by and bz. This parameter avoids a jump during relative orientation from one flight line to another flight line or to cross strips.
Each strip will be levelled after all photos of the strip have been assembled and oriented.
Using this parameter, RELAX provides in many cases much better initial orientation data. It is recommended to switch this parameter "on" for all standard aerial flights. Default is "off". In this conjunction it’s recommended, to set the maximum photo number difference to Zero
