The document below is a primer to get the user started with calculating the exterior orientation of an aerial image over the RIT campus utilizing Imagine & LPS:

A reference ground image accurate to 0.5m RMS can be found on the CIS file system under:

/lias/wasp2/footlocker/reference_images/vnir-campus-mosaic-2007.img

be sure to also grab the .rrd file as this contains pre-computed information about the image that Imagine uses.

A USGS 30 meter DEM of campus for elevation reference can be found under:

/lias/wasp2/footlocker/DEMs/wnydem-all-utm18-wgs84-sub35.img

again, be sure to grab the .rrd file that goes with this image. This DEM has been adjusted to reference the WGS84 ellipsoid.
