• ImageName gives the name of the file that the record refers to.
• GPSTime is the time that the photograph was captured.
• Latitude / Longitude / Altitude describe the position of the camera sensor at time of photograph capture.
• Omega / Phi / Kappa describe the exterior angle rotations about the x, y, z axes respectively.
• Xstd / Ystd / Zstd / Ostd / Pstd / Kstd are the standard deviations from the calculation of Omega / Phi / Kappa.
• Pitch / Roll / Heading describe the aircraft attitude at photograph capture.
