Aerial photography is to be taken of a tract of land that is X-mi square. Flying height will be H ft above average terrain, and the camera has focal length f. If the focal plane opening is 9 × 9 in., and minimum sidelap is 40 %, how many flight lines will be needed to cover the tract for the data given below?
Part A:
Express your answer as an integer.
X=9; H=3600ft; f=152.40mm
Calculate the value of the intermediate sight distance (in meters) for a highway with design speed of 65 kph, assume f = 0.36. Answer in 3 decimal places.(Hint: Stopping sight distance is just half of the intermediate sight distance.)
1. A camera was equipped with a 152mm (6”) focal-length lens is used to take a vertical photograph from a flying height of 2780m above mean sea level. If the terrain is flat and located at an elevation of 500m:
a.) What is the scale of the photograph?
b.) What would be the scale at mean sea level?
