CRISTAL Dimensional Analysis:

At the current stage of system development, the process of
creating computer models and measured drawings with
videographically generated dimensional information is a
cumbersome task.  Whereas videographic dimensioning computes
linear measurements that have to be manually accumulated, a
Stereoscopic Coordinate System could produce actual three
dimensional coordinate information.  As dimensions are extracted
from an image, this information could be directly imported into
the graphic processing system to facilitate the construction of a
3-D computer model.  Object oriented programming tools such HOOPS
(Hierarchical Object Oriented Programming System) and XPHIGS
(Extended Programming Hierarchical Interface Graphics System) may
be able to provide the necessary operational capabilities to
support such modeling systems.  These programming tools may also
represent a common denominator for systems integration, allowing
a variety of information types to be shared across different
operating environments or systems.
