The Photo Table is a key capability of PhotoModeler for reviewing photograph, camera and camera station data. A Photo Table can be opened by clicking on a Photo Table tool from the View Tab (table gallery). A Photo table can be configured and then displayed using the Edit Tables Dialog.
See the sections below called Table Windows for more background on tables, configurability and user interaction.
The properties of Photographs and Camera Stations can be modified by selecting one or more of them in the table, right clicking and pressing the Properties of selected photo button. This brings up Photo Properties.
There are numerous columns and properties that can be displayed in the Photo Table:
