In photogrammetry, what is the tilt of a photograph?

  1. Angle between lines joining opposite fiducial marks
  2. Angle between the photograph-plane normal and optical axis
  3. Angle between vertical and flight axis
  4. Angle between vertical and camera optical axis

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (D) Angle between vertical and camera optical axis

Explanation

Tilt measures departure of the camera optical axis from the vertical, D. Fiducial marks establish image coordinates; the photograph-plane normal is aligned with the camera axis in the ideal central-projection model and does not define this tilt.
