Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
125 words
A photogrammetric plotting apparatus comprising: (a) an optical system means for operator viewing of an image of a first stereomodel derived from a pair of stereoscopically related photograms. (b) operator controlled means for effecting stereomodel exploring motions relative to the photograms. (c) a tracing or display device; (d) means for converting the exploring motions into plotting motions for the tracing or display device; (e) means for scanning image data of a second model to produce an image of the second model; (f) means for conveying the image of the second model to the optical system means; wherein the optical system means includes a means for superimposing the image of the second model on the image of the first stereomodel for simultaneous viewing by the operator.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
125 words
A photogrammetric plotting apparatus comprising: (a) an optical system means for operator viewing of an image of a first stereomodel derived from a pair of stereoscopically related photograms. (b) operator controlled means for effecting stereomodel exploring motions relative to the photograms. (c) a tracing or display device; (d) means for converting the exploring motions into plotting motions for the tracing or display device; (e) means for scanning image data of a second model to produce an image of the second model; (f) means for conveying the image of the second model to the optical system means; wherein the optical system means includes a means for superimposing the image of the second model on the image of the first stereomodel for simultaneous viewing by the operator.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
29 words
The apparatus of claim 1, wherein at least part of the image data of the second model is obtained by scanning an image on the tracing or display device.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
