Enhanced geometric accuracy will result
from:
(i) special affine transform actions;
(ii) improved accuracy in relationship
between the stereoplotter's floating
mark and raw image through use
of eight fiducial marks with
unambiguous central marks
Viewing comfort of the Operator may be
increased by the special application
of anamorphic corrections in the image
scanline direction to compensate for the
viewing angle effect and for Earth's
curvature.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
(a) Developing countries subsist
virtually. entirely on agriculture,
In addition, they are experiencing
the highest population explosion.
Border mapping, therefore, has
assumed an intrinsic value for
Developing Countries.
(b) In view of its prevailing circum-
stances, border mapping demands
fast production and presentation
of the mapping data in a format
that allows unimpeded retrieval of
any required scale, as well as easy
up-dating and storage.
(c) Satellite mapping is best suited to
meet the requirements of border
mapping in terms of timeliness,
format of presentation and up-dating
possibilities.
(d) The proposals itemised in section 6
of this presentation are recommended.
They will lead to a higher quality
of border mapping.
(e) Developing Countries should see
satellite mapping technique as a
means of achieving border mapping.
