The final step in a typical pass through the triangulation
process, as described in Section 1.1, is the analysis of the output in order to assess the
quality of the bundle adjustment. The results of GIANT's computational work are all
directed to ASCII output files. An ASCII interface offers the user the flexibility of
importing the output file(s) into a text editor or word processor to reformat the output
into a company-compliant or client-specified presentation. Owing to the large number of
output-related options and switches, GIANT can produce a variety of output files with
varying information. The user is encouraged to refer to Section 3.5 to review the
output-related options and switches, and their effects. This chapter will discuss the
contents of the various GIANT output files, concentrating, in particular, on the listing
output file. |
