The methodology, which is a modification of the generalised Hausdorff distance registration ... -
Geometric quality enhancement of legacy graphical cadastral datasets through thin plate splines transformation
(Maney PublishingGeospatial and Space Technology, University of Nairobi, 2012)In some parts of the world, mainly developing countries, analogue graphical cadastral datasets are still being used, despite the fact that they usually contain large and differential positional distortions. This is because ... -
