Abstract 
Using high resolution image for making city map by digital rectification is simple.But five 
control points can correct image deformation precisely and reliable are not easy particular 
making 1:500 scale street view map. Nowadays, RT K-GPS becomes the definitive mapping 
instrument to draw 1:1000 scale maps but get some shortages. That are, 
1. Operators can't have an overall impression of the mapping place. 
2 Measuring points are separate so that the lines are not natural and smooth. 
3. Data transmission may have 0.196 mistakes which waste time to check and are troublesome. 
Given method comes as a substitute, which keeps all advantages and use RTK to definite the 
key points for drawing. Here are three examples for reference. The map size are extremely 
large and beyond the custom. (area; 60cm X 70cm,80cm X 180cm, 60cm X 200cm) Which 
without any splices. 
The interpolation for rectifying is surface splines which were originally developed for 
interpolation wing deflections of aircraft; Surface splines are a mathematical tool to interpolate 
a fuction of two variables. It is Base upon the small deflection equation of an infinite plate. The 
main adtvantages of the surface splines are that the coordinates of the known points needs not 
be located in a rectangular array and the function may be differentiated to find slopes.
