Scaling the Digital Site model
 
Previously noted in the Height Analysis segment is this paragraph, "A Height Scaling of the subject in the film is underway, based on scaling the model in real world measurements, integrating measurements taken by Rene Dahinedn, John Green, and potentially other sources. As this is work in progress, there is still the consideration of obtaining more data to integrate into the final determination. Data accumulated to date is highly consistent and allows a preliminary determination, although the documentation will need to be thorough."
 
I anticipate that there will be requests to disclose this information, and so I have chosen to include it in this report release, with a fair appraisal of its status. I am not currently using this data for the stated conclusion herein, because there is some refinement and consideration of margin of error still in progress. The status of this dimensional data could be regarded as compelling and illustrative, moreso that conclusive, at this point in time. For more discussion on the validity of measurements, go HERE. The following points are noteworthy:
 
1.  The measurements of the two men, measurements taken independently, do tend to conform to the site model's geometry well, and the triangulations created by both men's measurements connecting John Green's position with trees T-C1, T-C2 and T-C4 are particularly distinctive.
 
2.  John Green's measurements do tend to place himself and his camera (for the MacLarin re-enactment footage) at a position consistent with image comparisons of his film and the PGF which indicate he must be further back than Roger was at the C4A position filming F352, and this diagram (John's own measurements) places John about 8-10 feet behind Roger's C4A location. The position discrepancy (between John's camera and Roger's) was noted HERE.
 
3.  These measurements conform to the site scaling of a digital model validated by render camera with the horizontal viewing angle of 37.8 degrees, consistent with a 15mm lens on a standard 16mm film camera.
 
For the diagram below, the measure bars were not drawn on the site map image. They are actual objects in the site digital model with the exact length as specified. A separate panel giving their object dimensions and position coordinates is included HERE, so any person attempting to make a site model from my data, may also include these measurement bars as well. Since no two measurement bars are of the same length, the long dimension will suffice to identify the bars conclusively. Please note I was not using a CAD software and the positions of these measure bars could be adjusted slightly if you zoom in on them.
