Editing Points in the Residual Report

The Residual Report contains the residual errors for the points in your project. Residual
errors are the difference between the coordinates that you entered for the ground control
points (GCPs) or tie points and where the points are according to the computed math
model. To understand how to evaluate the points in your project, see "Troubleshooting the
Math Model Solution".
To edit the points in your project:
1. In the table on the Residual Errors window, click the image that contains the point
that you want to edit. Click Edit Point.
The viewer and GCP Collection or Tie Point Collection window open for the
selected point.
2. In the viewer click to indicate the new location of the point and click Use Point.
3. In the GCP Collection or Tie Point Collection window, click Accept.
4. Verify the results in the table. If you are not satisfied, select the same point in the
table on the Residual Errors window, click Edit Point, and repeat the process.
5. If you decide that the point is still not acceptable, click:
o

Delete Point to remove the point from the project.

Change to GCP/Check Point to change the point to an independent check

point or vice versa. If the point is changed to an independent check point, the
point is removed from the math model calculations, but keeps the point in the
project. OrthoEngine calculates the difference between the check point's
position and the position determined by the model and includes the error in
the Residual Report. Therefore, the check points provide an independent
accuracy assessment of the math model.

Note: Press SHIFT and click to select a range of neighboring points or press CTRL and click
separate points.
