SYNOPSIS

       i.photo.init
       i.photo.init help
       i.photo.init group=name  [--verbose]  [--quiet]

   Parameters:
       group=name
           Name of imagery group for ortho-rectification

DESCRIPTION

       Aerial photographs may be either vertical or oblique. Vertical photographs can be truly vertical (nadir),
       or slightly tilted (less than 3 degree from the vertical). Usually  aerial  photos  are  tilted  to  some
       degree. We refer to the term vertical photograph up to a tilt of 3 degree.
       Oblique  aerial  photographs  are  purposely  taken  with an angle between 3 and 90 degree from the nadir
       direction.

       The use of i.photo.init (menu 6) is only required when rectifying a tilted or oblique aerial photo.

       i.photo.init creates or modifies entries in a camera initial exposure  station  file  for  imagery  group
       referenced  by  a  sub-block.   These  entries  include:  the  (XC,YC,ZC) standard (e.g. UTM) approximate
       coordinates of the camera exposure station; initial roll, pitch, and  yaw  angles  (in  degrees)  of  the
       cameras  attitude; and the a priori standard deviations for these parameters. During the imagery program,
       i.photo.rectify, the initial camera  exposure  station  file  is  used  for  computation  of  the  ortho-
       rectification  parameters.   If  no  initial  camera  exposure station file exist, the default values are
       computed from the control points file created in <A HREF="i.photo.2target.html">i.photo.2target.

       The following menu is displayed:
               Please provide the following information
            INITIAL XC: Meters                __________
            INITIAL YC: Meters                __________
            INITIAL ZC: Meters                __________
            INITIAL omega (roll) degrees:     __________
            INITIAL phi  (pitch) degrees:     __________
            INITIAL kappa  (yaw) degrees:     __________
            Standard Deviation XC: Meters     __________
            Standard Deviation YC: Meters     __________
            Standard Deviation ZC: Meters     __________
            Std. Dev. omega (roll) degrees:   __________
            Std. Dev. phi  (pitch) degrees:   __________
            Std. Dev. kappa  (yaw) degrees:   __________
               Use these values at run time? (1=yes, 0=no)

                         (OR <Ctrl-C> TO CANCEL)

       The INITIAL values for (XC,YC,ZC) are expressed in standard (e.g.  UTM)  coordinates,  and  represent  an
       approximation for the location of the camera at the time of exposure.

                      X: East aircraft position;

                      Y: North aircraft position;

                      Z: Flight altitude above sea level

       The INITIAL values for (omega,phi,kappa) are expressed in degrees, and represent an approximation for the
       cameras attitude  at the time of exposure.

                      Omega (roll): Raising or lowering of the wings (turning around the aircraft's axis);

                      Phi (pitch): Raising or lowering of the aircraft's front (turning around the wings' axis);

                      Kappa  (yaw): Rotation needed to align the aerial photo to true north: needs to be denoted
                     as +90 degree for clockwise turn and -90 degree for a counterclockwise turn.

       The standard deviations for (XC,YC,ZC) are expressed in meters, and are used as a priori values  for  the
       standard deviations used in computation of the ortho rectification parameters.

       The  standard  deviations for (omega,phi,kappa) are expressed in degrees, and are used as a priori values
       for the standard deviations used in computation of the ortho rectification parameters.

       If Use these values at run time? (1=yes, 0=no) is set to 0, the values in this menu are not used.
