Abstract
Many applications in machine vision and photogrammetry involve taking measurements from images. Examples of image metrology applications include, in medicine: image-guided surgery andmultimode imaging; in robotics: calibration, object tracking, andmobile robot navigation; in industrial automation: component alignment, for example for electronic assembly, and reading 2-D bar codes; and in dynamic testing: measurements from high-speed images. In these applications, landmarks are detected and computer algorithms are used to determine their location in the image. When landmarks are located there is, of course, a degree of uncertainty in the measurement. This uncertainty is the subject of this work.
