THE CORNWALL ISLAND PROJECT

Photogrammetric methods were used in the Cornwall Island project with the aim of keeping ground measurements to an absolute minimum, by photogrammetric determination of the co-ordinates of targeted points located at or close to all lot corners and road deflections. The results showed that even thoug...

Description
Summary:Photogrammetric methods were used in the Cornwall Island project with the aim of keeping ground measurements to an absolute minimum, by photogrammetric determination of the co-ordinates of targeted points located at or close to all lot corners and road deflections. The results showed that even though the precision of short distances sometimes fell short of the Division’s standard of 1:2,500, the obsolute accuracy of coordinates was excellent.
