Figure 4-2. Solving for heights using opposite-side stereo images. The procedure is similar to that used for same-side images. Here the parallax, s, is equal to d2 - d1. Using the incidence angles of the two observations (Greek letter theta subscript 1
and Greek letter theta subscript 2), height h of the feature is obtained by dividing s by the parallax-to-height ratio (cot Greek letter theta subscript 1
+ cot Greek letter theta subscript 2
).
