Relative orientations of eight stereomodels of a motor vehicle accident scene taken with stereometric cameras were made on an Adam Technology MPS‐2 microphotogrammetric system. The most consistent results for the relative orientations were achieved with 12 pass points—six around the extremities and six in the centre of the format. Systematic errors in the direction normal to the photography were detected. Two methods to correct these errors were investigated—scaling of the camera base and computing a camera convergence correction. The best results were achieved with the convergence correction.
