This paper presented the procedures for detecting gross errors, and described the influence of the number and distribution of points on the internal reliability in photogrammetric adjustment, such as relative orientation and independent model method. The use of the standard six points for relative orientation and the regular four points for independent model method result in low internal reliability. With such a distribution, gross erors in measured points might not be detected But using cluster of double or triple points instead of individual point, internal reliability improves remarkably.
