Randlsq Program mm Measurement Input File Format

File: ISIS-PG-FMT503.doc, .pdf, or .asc

Version: 2006.08.10

=======================================================================

File input:

Group 1 ("nmea" records):

Name		Columns	Format	Description (units).

Imageid	1-12		A12		Image identification.  Usually flight data sequence (FSC) or similar image number (unitless).	

Focallength	13-27		F15.5		Camera focal length (mm).

Pointid	30-36		2X,A7		Point identification (unitless).

X measure	37-51		F15.5		X measurement of point on image (mm).

Y measure	52-66		F15.5		Y measurement of point on image (mm).


Sample (from Clementine solution, file "zmea.dat"):

=>  15730757       90.15000  Clerke        -1.32251        1.00051<=


Notes:

1. "nmea" is the number of line/sample measurements of tie points.  See the "Solution Parameterization" file (format "ISIS-PG-FMT531.doc") for input of this.
2. A comment may appear after column 66 (e.g. a text comment or information on the pixel measurements).
3. Lines beginning with the character "#" will eventually be treated as comments.
4. Earlier versions of randlsq for non-lunar solutions used 5 character control point names, but all solutions now use 7 character names.

=======================================================================

Reference: Model, program, and format generally follow that specified in:

Colvin, Tim R. (1992).  "Photogrammetric Algorithms and Software for Spacecraft Optical Imaging Systems," _ A RAND NOTE _, N-3330-JPL.

Note that the original format indicates the use of 5 character control point names.
