methods Ground observations made using a Global Positioning System, in differential mode using MIDAS software. Ground observations accurate to approximately +- 1m in X, Y and Z. Observations made on 1:10 000 maps. Accuracy estimated as RMS in X, Y: 1.1m. Accuracy of Z (dependant upon benchmark observations) approximately 0.25m. Observations made on the digitized aerial photographs for interior orientation: RMS 0.26 pixel.
