The Aerial Survey Data Base(ASDB) is a data bank of photogrammetric control points that have been established through the process of aerotriangulation. The primary purpose of this data base is to provide a minimum of 4 points for the compilation of each photogrammetric model contained in a 1/50 000 National Topographic System(NTS) map sheet. 1, record 1, English, - Aerial%20Survey%20Data%20Base

La Banque de données des levés aériens (BDLA) est une banque de données de points de contrôle photogrammétriques qui ont été établis par le procédé d'aérotriangulation. Le but premier de cette banque de données est de fournir au moins 4 points pour la compilation de chaque modèle photogrammétrique formant chaque carte au 1/50 000 du Système national de référence topographique (SNRC). 1, record 1, French, - Banque%20de%20donn%C3%A9es%20des%20lev%C3%A9s%20a%C3%A9riens

Photogrammetric control consists of any points whose positions are known in an object-space reference co-ordinate system and whose images can be positively identified in the photographs. (...) Photogrammetric control, or "ground control" as it is commonly called in aerial photogrammetry, provides the means for orienting or relating aerial photographs to the ground. 1, record 7, English, - photogrammetric%20control
Record number: 7, Textual support number: 1 OBS
According to Betty Fleming of the Topographical Survey Division, EMR, and Professor Ladouceur of the Department of Photogrammetry of Laval University, "ground control" and "photogrammetric control" are not synonymous, WOELE notwithstanding. A photogrammetric control point is usually an artificially identified point in an aerial photograph, whereas a ground control point is a point established on the ground by a survey party. 2, record 7, English, - photogrammetric%20control
