Principles of Stereoscopic Vision
• Up to this point, you have probably considered
topographic displacement in aerial photographs as
nothing but an obstacle that you wish didn’t exist.
• However, without it we would not be able to view a
stereoscopic model in the 3-Dimention.
• This 3-D interpretation of aerial photographs allows
the interpreter to see much more than can be seen
in a single (2-D photograph).
• This lecture will deal with the theory of stereoscopy,
discuss related topics, and lay the groundwork for
Chapter 6 (Text), which discusses measurements in
the third dimension.

stereoscopically, several drumlin mounds are evident. Photo scale = 1:20,400. (Courtesy

1- Definitions Stereogram
1- Definitions Stereoscope
• To achieve our stereoscopic image, we use a
stereoscope, which is a binocular optical
instrument that helps us view two properly
oriented photographs to obtain the mental
impression of a 3-D model.
• Most stereoscopes also magnify the images.
• The four types of stereoscopes with which we will
be concerned are (1) the lens stereoscope, (2) the
mirror stereoscope, (3) the scanning stereoscope,
and (4) the zoom stereoscope. (for more details,
see text book,page 46-49)

2- Geometry of Stereoscopy
• In order to obtain proper stereoscopic vision,
it is important to have properly oriented
photos that are aligned in the geometry of
when the images were taken.
Figure 3.7. Two different sets of coordinates axes on the same (center) photograph.
The x1 y1 axes are used with the two photos on the left, and the x2 y2 axes are
used with the two photos on the right.
Conjugate principal points (CPPs) are the principal points of adjacent photos in the same flight
line transferred to the photo being considered.
2- Geometry of Stereoscopy
2-2 Parallax
2. Differential parallax: It
is the difference in the
absolute stereoscopic
parallax at the top and
base of the object
measured.
2- Geometry of Stereoscopy
2-2 Parallax
• Different amounts along the x-axis on
successive photographs. This difference in
displacement is called the difference in
absolute parallax (dP).
• The absolute parallax of a point on a pair of
overlapping vertical photographs is equal to
the x coordinate of the point measured on
the left-hand photograph minus the x
coordinate of the point measured on the
right-hand photograph.

Appendix-3-2
A raised-relief map or terrain model is a three dimensional
representation, usually of terrain, materialized as a physical artifact.
When
representing
terrain, the
vertical
dimension is
usually
exaggerated by a
factor between
five and ten; this
facilitates the
visual
recognition
of terrain
features.
