Photometric principles of measurements have found a wide recognition and a wide application in different fields of human activity. It is stipulated by the introduction of photogrammetric works of new technology for obtaining primary information about the locality. At present for obtaining high quality and highly exact airophotographic data digital wide format photographic cameras are used and photogrammetric processing of digital pictures is carried out at special digital photogrammetric work stations.
A great importance is attached to photogrammetric methods during the monitoring of lands for information providing of state realty cadastre. At present land state monitoring is a modern technical trend to provide this cadastre with the necessary graphic and digital documents.
Photographing of small territories (dacha settlements, agricultural buildings etc.), when the scale of airophotography is ten or more times less than the scale of map-making, is quite possible because the object can be photographed on two pictures that is to be located on one stereo pair. This article is devoted to photogrammetric processing of a single stereo pair. At this space facilities for positioning (GLONASS, GPS) secure the coordinates and altitudes of points of photographic. When space signals are properly synchronized with the work of the photograph camera shutter and careful determination of the elements of adjustment of space antenna to the relative centre of projection (s) of camera is carried out the coordinates of projection centres can be used as supporting geodetic points.
Point realization of the above-mentioned terms allows to decrease the number of supporting points necessary for outside orientation of model to one. It should be located at the end of stereo pair opposite its middle. While designing redundant supporting points (for control and improvement of exactness) they should be located in the corners of stereo pair.
