Photogrammetry of the solar aureole

Not Accessible

Abstract

This paper presents a photogrammetric analysis of the solar aureole for the purpose of making photographic sky radiance measurements for determining aerosol physical characteristics. A photograph is essentially a projection of a 3-D object space onto a 2-D image space. Photogrammetry deals with relations that exist between the object and the image spaces. The main problem of photogrammetry is the reconstruction of configurations in the object space by means of the image space data. It is shown that the almucantar projects onto the photographic plane as a conic section and the sun vertical as a straight line.
