photo analysis

Someone mentioned that determining the attitude of the aircraft was "simple trigonometry". Well it most certainly is not simple. These cameras have a wide field of view and there is tremendous curvilinear distortion, particularly in the corners and edges. Of course it can be analyzed with knowledge of the camera's focal length, plate scale etc. But it is not simple.
