The use of centres of buildings
The distances between the laser derived building centre point
and the corresponding centre point from the building map were
calculated, as well as the distances between the centre points of
buildings using the first pulse data and the corresponding
buildings using last pulse data. Lines between opposite corner
points of the extracted buildings determined the centre point of
the building. Results are shown in Tables 4, 5 and 6.

Table 6. Distances (cm) between the centre points of the first
and last pulse mode derived buildings.
Mean distances of the centre points of the extracted buildings
were less than 30 cm for the first and also for the last pulse data
when compared with the buildings on the map. The standard
deviations varied between «11-28 cm for the first pulse and
+14-18 em for the last pulse. Maximum distances were mainly
less than the Toposys Falcon scan line distance, about 80 cm, in
the across track direction. It was difficult to find the exact
boundaries for some buildings because they were partly covered
by trees. This is one reason for the large errors in distances
when using the first pulse data. Distances between the centre
points of the first and last pulse mode derived buildings
coincide better with each other than with the map buildings.
Mean errors (12-18 cm) and standard deviations (49-16 cm)
from one flight strip include errors resulting from the building
extraction modelling and from the different observation modes.

were flown to the southeast and 2, 4 and 6 to the
northwest. 002-003, 004-003, 006-003, 002-005,
004-005, 006-005 are opposite directions. Only
ridge roof buildings included.
As mentioned in section 2.1, strips number 3 and 5 were flown
to the southeast direction and 2, 4, 6 were flown to the
northwest direction. We had two cases to compare. Firstly,
flight strips to the same directions were compared and secondly,
also the opposite direction flight strip comparisons were carried
out, Figures 2 and 3. In Figure 3 only the ridge roof buildings
were included because they were the biggest group and easiest
to extract.
In Figures 2 and 3 the first four columns (average values) on the
left are the same flight direction pairs. Columns five to ten
