Planimetric mapping with reflection instruments the zts also has the capability of removing the effects of nonorthogonal affine distortion in the image by means of rotating prisms these features facilitate adjusting photo images to coincide with map points or control points

Ground is obtained from field measurements and used in determining positions of the points.
