| Summary: | Orientation and calibration of photogrammetric and remote sensing instruments is a fundamental capacity of current mapping systems
and a fundamental research topic. Neither digital remote sensing acquisition systems nor direct orientation gear, like INS and GNSS
technologies, made block adjustment obsolete. On the contrary, the continuous flow of new primary data acquisition systems has challenged
the capacity of the legacy block adjustment systems – in general network adjustment systems – in many aspects: extensibility,
genericity, portability, large data sets capacity, metadata support and many others. In this article, we concentrate on the extensibility
and genericity challenges that current and future network systems shall face. For this purpose we propose a number of software design
strategies with emphasis on rigorous abstract modeling that help in achieving simplicity, genericity and extensibility together with the
protection of intellectual proper rights in a flexible manner. We illustrate our suggestions with the general design approach of GENA,
the generic extensible network adjustment system of GeoNumerics. |
