I formed "FultonMD-1959-qVP-RB.jpg" by reverse-engineering
1959 USAF images for which I had only approximate ground control
and poor knowledge of the actual camera parameters at image capture.
Hence, I suspect that the 3-D accuracy is in the class of 10 meters 
over the image. The source film was scanned at ~ 7 microns by Martinez Corp.,
but the images used in this qVP generation were condensed to 49 micron images.
In other words, the source images offer seven times more linear resolution
than is shown in this preliminary qVP!

Nonetheless, viewed zoomed-in using red/blue filters, it provides a delightful 
stereo presence, and gives some sense of what can be accomplished 
processing historic greyscale stereo images.

The qVP includes the area in Maryland where I grew up.
The area shown lies just West of the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory.

The quantitative .txt file is internal to the .jpg as a comment.
Hence the images contains its own geodesy.

I have placed the qVP image data format in the public domain.
You may freely distribute "FultonMD-1959-qVP-RB.jpg".
